What Causes White Cells In Urine?

I have been on antibiotics for having white cells in urine. Felt some pressure and slight discomfort but it wasn t a full blown infection like I have had in the past. They took urine sample on Tuesday of this week and did a culture. It came out negative but I still have some white cells in my urine. What could be causing this?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the culture is negative and no clinical symptoms are there then no need to have antibiotic some WBC is common in urine and that may not be due to some disease, you have not mentioned how much WBC detected in urine, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
