Please send a photo

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but I would like to look further into this, please send a photo of your urine strip test attached to a free follow up query.. however if the leukocytic count is increased then this suggests a urinary tract infection which can be confirmed by a urine analysis accompanied by a culture and sensitivity test to detect which antibiotic will best treat your infection. I hope you find this helpful..
