Leukocytes means pus in the urine. It means you may have a mild UTI or what we call cystitis. Infection in the urinary bladder causing the discomfort in your suprapubic area or area below your umbilicus. You may need to drink antibiotics for 3 days the most common would be ciprofloxacin 500mg per cap every 12 hrs for 3 days.
