Hello Doctor,
My wife recently noticed blood in her urine and visited her gynecologist for consultation. Despite not being pregnant, the gynecologist prescribed painkillers and recommended ultrasound and blood tests. The results showed the presence of bacteria and pus cells, with counts of 20-24 pus cells and 6-8 epithelial cells. What could be the underlying cause of these findings, and how serious is the condition?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Diagnostic Findings:
The urine test showed the presence of bacteria and pus cells.
Results indicated 20-24 pus cells and 6-8 epithelial cells.
Possible Diagnosis:
Likely a urinary tract infection (UTI).
The infection causes inflammation and shedding of epithelial cells.
Treatment Recommendations:
Antibiotics may be necessary for UTI.
Follow-up with gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Prognosis:
Prompt treatment usually resolves UTIs without complications.
Untreated UTIs can lead to more serious issues.
Thanks
