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.

View allI'm experiencing a really unbearable itch right at the entrance of my vagina, and there's this white, curd-like discharge coming from it. It also gets swollen if I scratch it. This just started yesterday, but it's already the second time this year that it's happened. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection, which can cause itching, swelling, and a white, curd-like discharge. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antifungal medication. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry to help ease the discomfort.

I'm trying to figure out how many days I should rest after getting family planning surgery. Also, are there any specific precautions I need to keep in mind while recovering?
After family planning surgery, rest for at least **2-3 days** is generally recommended, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities for about a week. Keep the surgical site clean and dry, monitor for any signs of infection like redness or swelling, and follow up with your doctor as advised.

I have a dermoid cyst in my right ovary measuring 43x34x44 mm from an MRI in February and it might have grown since then. I feel swelling in my right thigh and abdomen. Several gynecologists recommended laparoscopy because they say it contains hair and teeth and could twist. I'm hesitant about surgery can homeopathy actually dissolve this kind of cyst? I'm single and a bit nervous about going under the knife.
Dermoid cysts with hair or teeth elements do not dissolve naturally.Laparoscopy is usually recommended to prevent complications like torsion.
