I'm a bit concerned about my grandma's recent urine report. It says there are 15-20 pus cells per high power field. She doesnt really have any other issues, except she sometimes has incontinence. She's on some Ayurvedic treatment for that. What does it mean to have that number of pus cells? Should we be worried?

The normal range of pus cells in the urine is 0-5. Since the report suggests pus cells of 15-20 and bacteria is present, it is suggestive of urinary tract infection(UTI). Ideally you should send the urine for culture so that the most sensitive antibiotics can be used.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's been experiencing severe urethral pain, and we've been told she has a UTI.

I've been feeling a slight pain and discomfort right above my penis, like two fingers' width above, and it's a bit more to the left side. Plus, there's a heaviness in the area around my testicles. This has been going on for about two weeks now. Is this something normal or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about it?

The symptoms you're describing, including slight pain above the penis, heaviness in the testicles, and a specific location of the pain, warrant medical attention; possible causes range from epididymitis, orchitis, or a groin strain to more serious conditions like testicular torsion or a hernia; schedule an appointment with a urologist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
