kidney infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to XXXXXXX
I can very well understand your concern for pus cells in urine as well as for
Sexually Transmitted Disease as a possible cause.
After reading your query with diligence and interpreting and analyzing your whole situation, let me first reassure you that the pus cells are not due to any Sexually Transmitted infection or disease.
Now you must be anxious to know the possible cause of the pus cells in urine. As per your history of stone in abdomen, the only cause is because of
urinary tract infection by the stone problem which we call as urinary tract infection or UTI.
TO explain you elaborately and medically- pus cells in urine can be because of mutiple causes. These pus cells are basically white blood cells which are present in urine whenever there is any infection from kidneys to
ureter or in
urinary bladder or
urethra too. All these structures form the part of urinary tract. Whenever there is any stone in the urinary tract it has a tendency to cause mild to moderate or severe infection in the tract. This leads to white blood cells coming in the urine or also known as pus cells in laboratory analysis.. This is called as urinary tract infection or UTI.
The interpretation for the same is as follows:
- up to 10 pus cells (WBCs)/HPF- It means few cells and so mild infection
- 11-40 pus cells (WBCs)/HPF- It means moderate number of cells and so moderate infection
- More than 40 pus cells (WBCs)/HPF- It means many cells and so high infection
So you can get from above that in your case it is moderate infection as you have around 15 cells. For this problem it will be better to
consult a urologist for the infection as well as stone problem.
DO not worry about culture report, it will be negative for any cause related to Sexually Transmitted Diseases. As protected sex gives 99.99% safety from all types of infections related to Sexually Transmitted Diseases. SO you have a clean status regarding the same.
So relax yourself and get treated for your stone problem as well as urinary tract infection.
I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.
"Wish you good health"
