What Could Epithelial Cells In Urine Suggest?
hi, i'm 26. i just got my urine test result, i have moderate epithelial cells, what does this indicate? does drinking water cure this? I'm afraid i won't take the prescribed medicine because i feel like i'm pregnant though the pregnancy test is negative for now. my O.B said result is negative because it is too early

Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Epithelial cells are skin cells,as you may have touched the bottle to the skin.
This is of no significance and has nothing to do with infection or pregnancy.
The sample bottle or tube,should be kept a little away from the vaginal skin.
Drinking 8-10 glasses liquids daily,is a healthy routine.
Wish you well.
