Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Presence of more than normal quantity of pus cells in the urine indicates urinary tract infection. Further culture shows organism Candida. Usually, candida infection is seen in diabetic patients. You have to take a course of antifungals and antibiotics for UTI (urinary tract infection) & also check for blood glucose levels.

Please consult a general physician for more suggestions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
