Hello,
Epithelial cells in a number of one to five considered normal if more than that it suggests bacterial or yeast infection in the urine. To prevent recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI)
-Complete the course of antibiotics till urine culture becomes negative
-maintain hydration at its best
-Genital hygiene should not be compromised
-Avoid unprotected sex
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
