I'm 5 weeks pregnant and my recent urine test showed pus cells of 20-25. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it lead to any serious issues?

Widal Test Report Interpretation

Positive Result:

The Widal test detects antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi. Your report shows:

Salmonella Typhi O (1:160): Indicates a significant level of antibodies against Typhi O antigen.

Salmonella Typhi H (1:40): Shows a moderate level of antibodies against Typhi H antigen.

Impression: Positive (+ve)

This suggests that you have been exposed to Salmonella Typhi, which could indicate a current or past Typhoid infection.

Dietary Recommendations:

During Typhoid infection, it's essential to focus on nutrient-rich foods that are easy to digest:

Fluids: Drink plenty of water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water.

Bananas: Easy to digest and a good source of potassium.

Rice: Plain white rice is easy on the stomach.

Applesauce: A low-fiber, easily digestible fruit.

Lean proteins: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or tofu.

Avoid spicy and fatty foods: These can exacerbate digestive issues.

I took Primolut N for 10 days twice daily to delay my periods, and I've stopped it for the past 3 days. When can I expect my periods to start again? Also, I have a thyroid problem, so is that going to affect anything?

After stopping Primolut N, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, but this timeframe may vary due to individual hormonal responses and your pre-existing thyroid condition, which can affect menstrual regularity; monitor your body's response and consult your gynecologist if your periods are delayed beyond 7-10 days or if you experience any unusual symptoms.
