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've been dealing with a cyst on my left ovary, and initially, it was 4cm but now it's shrunk to 3cm. Occasionally, I get these sharp abdominal pains, which are pretty concerning. I also have my periods every 20 to 22 days, but they bring on intense pain in my legs, thighs, and lower left back. My doctor hasn't prescribed any meds for the cyst yet, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be worried about. Is it crucial to get this cyst treated, or will it just resolve on its own? Could it cause issues down the road?
A 3cm ovarian cyst might resolve on its own, especially if it's functional, but the sharp pains and irregular, painful periods suggest it should be monitored closely. If symptoms worsen or persist, treatment may be needed to prevent complications like rupture or fertility issues. Discuss further with your doctor.

I've been able to insert two fingers into my vagina and I'm wondering if that means my hymen might be broken. Is it true that if the hymen breaks, there should be noticeable bleeding?
Its possible to insert two fingers into the vagina without the hymen breaking, as the hymen can stretch or be flexible. The breaking of the hymen doesnt always result in bleeding, as it can vary from person to person. Some may experience minimal bleeding, while others might not have any at all.
