Elevated WBC and epithelial cells suggest a possible UTI. Since delivery is near, consult doctor promptly, antibiotics may be needed to prevent complications.

Hi Sir, I am suffering from frequent urination. When I drink 2 glasses of water then in 2 hours I go for urination 4 times. Also when I do not drink water then I feel to urinate at very short intervals and the urine amount is very low. What should be the gap between two urinations? Please suggest me what to do? Please see my report also?

Hello Doctor, My daughter is 19 months old. She had a viral fever for 3 to 4 days. Since then, she has puffiness around her eyes for the past 5 to 6 days and is passing less urine. The doctor advised a urine routine microscopy (RM) test, and I am attaching the report. Could you please review it and guide me on the next steps? Is everything okay?

Respected mam, I have attached my urine report. Can NFT be cured? Is it something critical or just a simple infection?
