Kindly check my report. My leucocyte esterase is positive and pus cells are 10 to 12 WBC per HPF. Is this very high. I am 31 weeks pregnant. Can this harm my baby? I am really worried.

I am a 27 year old married working woman. I catch infection again and again and I feel burning sensation and irritation while passing urine. I have taken an antibiotics course and a few days back I had a urine test and this is my report. I am not very convinced with the doctor so I want to consult first. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how can it be treated so that it will not come back again and again? Please help.

Hello doctor I am a 21 year old unmarried girl. Is there any blood or urine report that can prove a urinary tract infection is caused because of sex?

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