I am having UTI for the last 25 days and now my urine report shows presence of epithelial cells 1 to 2 per hpf and pus cells 5 to 6 per hpf. I have already taken levofloxacin for 20 days as per doctors advice. Kindly suggest what to do now? I was also recently detected with diabetes. My age is 69 years male.

Persistent UTI with diabetes needs further testing. A urine culture can help find the right medicine. Keep sugar levels in check to help recovery.

We are planning for a baby, and I have attached my report for your review. My motility rate is only 10 percent, and I am concerned whether this could be due to an infection. I would like to know if this condition can be treated and how much time it might take to improve.

What happens if a pus cell is more than 10 HPF?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?
