Question 1

I'm wondering if having 34 pus cells per high-power field in my urine is something to be concerned about. Everything else on my report seems normal, but do I need treatment for this? Would love your insight.

Accepted Answer

The presence of 3-4 PUS (pus) cells per high power field (HPF) in urine is generally considered mild and can occur due to factors like urinary tract irritation or a minor infection. Since the rest of your report is normal, it may not require treatment, but it's always a good idea to monitor for any symptoms like pain or discomfort, and follow up with your doctor if needed.

Accepted Answer

The increase in creatinine levels from 0.78 to 1.2 over a year can be attributed to your rigorous workout regime and muscle building. When muscle tissue is broken down during exercise, creatinine is produced as a byproduct. Since you are vegetarian and do not take supplements, the increase in creatinine levels can be considered a normal response to your increased muscle mass. However, it is important to continue monitoring your creatinine levels and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed.

Accepted Answer

The pain you're experiencing after vomiting could be due to:

1. Irritation and inflammation of the esophagus (food pipe) from stomach acid.
2. Potential tears or ulcers in the esophagus or throat.
3. Spasms or constriction of the esophagus.

To alleviate the discomfort:

- Stay hydrated with water and electrolyte-rich drinks.
- Avoid solid foods for a while; opt for bland, soft foods like yogurt or soup.
- Over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac may help.
- If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
