Elevated WBC and epithelial cells suggest a possible UTI. Since delivery is near, consult doctor promptly, antibiotics may be needed to prevent complications.

Take a COMPLETE URINE EXAMINATION (CUE) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - URINE (AUTOMATED) Test

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?
