Hi doctor my mother has to undergo cataract surgery. In her pre operative urine report her urine showed high pus cells and she received medication for it. After completing a one week course of medication she had her urine lab done again but her pus cells are still high along with high epithelial cells. Is this something very serious? I am attaching her two urine reports before and after her medication. The one marked with a pen is the first report and the one with no pen mark is the latest report.

Persistent pus cells suggest incomplete resolution or resistant bacteria. Epithelial cells may also indicate improper sample. Repeat test with culture helps guide right antibiotic. Meanwhile, stay hydrated and maintain hygiene

I have 30 to 40 pus cells and 20 to 25 epithelial cells per hpf in my urine report. I am also experiencing nausea, occasional burning sensation during urination, and mild pain in the lower abdomen and sometimes on both sides of the flank. I am currently taking Nitrobact 100. I have attached my report for your reference.

I have been suffering from urination problems for the past four to five months. I urinate 8 to 10 times at night and pass more urine while sitting than standing. I went to the hospital, but my lab reports and USG are normal. The doctor advised taking Tab Cystone, but it has not cured me. Please advise, as I am suffering a lot.
