Brief Answer:
Often indicate UTI or STD

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.
The result means that you have 25 pus cells per microliter of urine.
This in most cases indicate a minor urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted disease like Gonorrhoea. Damage to the kidneys, ureters, urethra or bladder can cause leukocytes to appear. They can also be triggered when foreign materials are found in the body.
If you have any blood tests like blood counts or kidney function tests, I can comment on them and also I request you to provide your symptoms whatever you have.
Take Care
