Hi, my wife and I went on a 12 days international vacation and were scheduled to go for our 12 week pregnancy scan immediately after returning. We had a long international flight and got the scan and urine test immediately. While the NT scan and other reports are fine, the urine report shows 6 to 8 pus cells with a urine pH of 8. Is this possibly due to temporary dehydration from travel or is it something more serious? My wife does not have any other symptoms and is fine. We are asking this since we can only meet our doctor in a wee time. Thanks.

Likely due to dehydration or minor UTI. No antibiotics unless symptoms develop. Please do a Urine Culture to confirm. Take this test now.

My urine test report is pus cells 10 to 12 per hpf, RBC 1 to 2 per hpf and epithelial cells 4 to 5 per hpf. I am 9 weeks pregnant. Is there any serious problem? What should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

What's the cause of pus cells increasing in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
