Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have just slightly high RBC in urine test. It can be due to some residual infection. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. Repeat urine examination after a month. If you have RBCs then you should go for ultrasound abdomen once to rule out any cause of bleeding.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
