What Do My Swab Test Results Indicate?

Good morning ma, I did a swap infection test, because when I urinate I feel pains, and the urine comes out often times, sometimes in little quantity and in pains, the results shows epithelial cells double positive. Plus cells shows 0-4 /hpf - 0-2/ hpf. What does it mean?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the urine routine report you have enclosed, the following things can be concluded.
Except for presence of more epithelial cells, there is no indication of infection as the pus cells are within normal range.
It would be advisable for you to undergo the following investigations to find out what could be the underlying cause.
1. Urine culture and sensitivity.
2. Ultrasound scan of the abdomen.
Kindly consult Urologist with the report at the earliest for clinical evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
