My grandma had her routine blood checkup in which her urine report shows pus cells 15 to 20 per hpf. She does not have any complaints except occasional urinary incontinence for which she is taking Ayurvedic medicine. What does the presence of pus cells indicate?

Likely asymptomatic UTI. If no fever or burning, aggressive treatment may not be needed. Monitor.

What does it mean to have pus cells 2-3 HPF in stool?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently underwent dental treatment and took antibiotics during that time. I have also had a semen analysis, which showed 24 to 26 pus cells. Could taking antibiotics have caused the increase in pus cells in my semen?

My wife has been experiencing body ache, backache, fatigue, and a burning sensation while passing urine. She had urine and blood tests today. The report shows trace albumin in urine and 8 to 10 pus cells. Could you please advise whether this indicates a kidney problem or a normal urinary tract infection? Should we be concerned about the albumin in urine, and is it likely due to infection or kidney damage?
