concerned about urinalysis

[dani35]

I had a urinalysis last week. My internist called me and asked if I had any pain or burning. I do not. She said I prob have UTI and started me on Augmentin for 10 days. I received the results at home from lab and am concerned about results.  WBC Esterace 3+, WBC>30,RBC 11-30, Epithelial Cells {NON RENAL] >10 ,Bacteria few.  The culture came up  50000-100000 Group B strep.  My dr acted like this is no big deal when I called her to discuss results.  Should I just calm down?

I called my dr to ask about my urinalysis results. She became quite angry and said it is just a UTI and to take my antibiotics. I asked her about the RBCs and she feels they are from menstruation. Is this possible? She feels there is no reason for worry.

I asked my doctor about the RBC's and she feels that they are from menstruation. I had the urinalysis four days after menstruation finished.  Is this possible? My dr feels it is only a urinary tract infection.

Hello,
High WBC in urine indicates a urinary tract infection. But a presence of so many RBC’s in urine indicates hematuria. Microscopic hematuria can be due to urinary tract (bladder) infection, swelling in the filtering system of the kidneys, stone in bladder or in a kidney, blood disease, like sickle cell anemia, certain medicines and tumors in the urinary tract.
You may need a series of investigations like urine examination, urine culture, ultrasound or cystoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Please consult a urologist and get it done.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
