This is because you have a urinary tract infection.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a HOMOCYSTEINE - URINE Test or Take a MATERNAL SERUM SCREENING - 1T QUAD (ANEUPLOIDY SCREENING) Test

Which food should I avoid during pus cells in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, the urine report says pus cells 20 to 25, epithelial cells 7 to 8, and few bacteria. It has been a month since she was COVID positive.

Hi, my wife and I went on a 12 days international vacation and were scheduled to go for our 12 week pregnancy scan immediately after returning. We had a long international flight and got the scan and urine test immediately. While the NT scan and other reports are fine, the urine report shows 6 to 8 pus cells with a urine pH of 8. Is this possibly due to temporary dehydration from travel or is it something more serious? My wife does not have any other symptoms and is fine. We are asking this since we can only meet our doctor in a wee time. Thanks.
