I was detected with pus cells 20-25 in Urine and was given antibiotic course for 7 days. After completing the medications I did a test again to see that the number of pus cells have not been specified and is now Plenty with some epithelial cells. I am pregnant. Please advise what this means
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the pus cells of more than 5 in urine suggests urinary tract infection (UTI). Plenty of epithelial cells is not significant. If at all there are persistent of pus cells I suggest you to get urine culture and sensitivity test done to know the accurate diagnosis and treatment of UTI. Nothing to worry.UTI is routinely seen in pregnancy due to alteration of hormones. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day, cranberry juice to prevent UTI. With adequate treatment it will subside. Hope this helps. Best regards....
