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'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?
While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.
