Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Your urine report is absolutely normal.
Up to 5 pus cells in urine are normal /HPF.
Epithelial cells are basically normal cells that represent contamination of the urine specimen with skin cells.It is very common and is not concerning.
It is good that there is no R.B.C in semen.
You need clinical correlation.

Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
