Hello and welcome to HCM,
The genital wet preparation is showing presence of red blood cells, few white blood cells and few epithelial cells.
Presence of few red blood cells and white blood cells are normal and does not signify any severe infection.
However, since you are experiencing symptoms of urinary tract infection, I suggest you to get a urine culture followed by drug sensitivity in case the culture turns out to be positive.
Consult your primary healthcare provider for investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care
