I noticed droplets of blood while passing urine. I had a urine routine test, which showed traces of blood, 6 to 8 RBCs, 8 to 10 epithelial cells, and no pus cells. My periods are about to start, could this be the reason for the traces of blood in the urine? I have attached the report for your reference. Please advise.

Blood traces could be from upcoming menstruation. Repeat test post period if symptoms persist.

Question

My urine routine examination showed slightly turbid urine with a pH of 6. Urine albumin and sugar were absent. C reactive protein was 13. RBCs in urine were absent, epithelial cells were 2 to 4 per hpf, pus cells were 6 to 8 per hpf, and there were no casts or crystals. My complete blood count showed hemoglobin of 11.5?g per dL, WBC 5800, MCH 35.5?pg, and MCHC 33.3?g per dL.

Question

My mother, age 59, had itching near the urinary area along with white discharge. She is on medication for sugar and blood pressure. We visited a gynecologist and she told us to do a NILM Pap smear test. The report says reactive changes observed associated with inflammation and atrophy. What does this mean? The gynecologist is on a one week leave. Is it anything to worry about?

Question

My wife is 35 years old, and her urine test shows albumin +++. Could you please advise what this means and what steps or treatment we should take?
