Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
Pus cells in urine may signal an infection even in the absence of symptoms or not.Pus cells as few as 8-10hpf are normal values .As long as the value does not exceed 10 hpf, it is normal.
Just stay calm, continue with your antenatal visits as planned.Urinalysis will occassionally be requested to rule out asymptomatic bacteria in urine which if neglected can become serious given the susceptibility of pregnant women to UTIs
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
