Hi, I am 23 weeks pregnant, and my urine report shows pus cells 4 to 5/hpf and epithelial cells 8 to 10/hpf. Is this normal? Please suggest what I should do.

Mild pyuria and increased epithelial cells could be due to contamination or early infection. Repeat test with midstream clean catch sample. If symptoms (burning, fever, frequency) present, start antibiotics safe in pregnancy. If asymptomatic, monitor with repeat tests.

I am experiencing sharp ache on the left side of my body. I have a cyst in my left ovary measuring 3.5 cm. I am also having constipation, nausea, a feeling of fullness, and vaginal itching. My urine report shows RBC absent, pus cells 4 to 5, epithelial cells 8 to 10, and no yeast detected. Urine has been sent for culture. I am taking medication for UTI. Is this okay?

Hi Sir. I have had back pain for one week, and today I developed fever, cold, and cough. I got my blood and urine tested. After the urine test, the doctor informed me that I have a urinary infection. The test showed albumin (present +) and pus cells 3 to 4/HPF. The doctor suggested taking Cystone syrup. After one day, I am fine from fever, cold, and cough, but I sometimes get pain in my right lower rib. What should I do?
