What is the normal pus cells for women, Doc? I spoke to my friend that is a Doctor and she said my urine result is normal and that 4-6 pus cells is normal for women. I had also read in google while searching for answers and one of the doctors mentioned that bacteria in urine is normal. Finally, I dont experience burning sensation when urinating so it can be UTI without this pain? Apologies for the questions.

Brief Answer:
Normal urine will have 2-3 pus cells.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
Normal urine will have 2-3 pus cells but will not have red blood cells.
It will be better if you get urine culture done to rule out active infection
It could be a mild inflammation of bladder mucosa.(Cystitis)
Tanks and Regards.

You mean STD? Is this the most cause or Kidney/bladder stones is the most cause why men got high pus cells or UTI?

Answered by Dr. Dr. P. T. Patil (2 hours later)

Not STD.

Hello

One can get simple bacterial infection due to unprotected sex .

Stones in urinary system are are always formed secondary to infection.or due to derangement in calcium metabolism or precipitation of Oxalate in urine.

I have not heard of men having high pus cells in urine unless they have UTI.
