Hello Sir/Madam,
I had discharge on Tuesday and Wednesday (thick whitish, one or two times look yellowish thick). it continue for 2 days. Now I have kind of dicharge but thin lighter version, but when I pee, it pop up.

So I went and see my doctor, and gave a swab and urine for test.

My preliminary urine analysis shows Keukocyte Esterase (+ve) when I called my docotor she told me that.

it seems to be i have some sort of infection? what could be?  Viral? or bacterial?.  I am so much worried...... any thoughts.

Hi,
      Thanks for writing in. White cells in urine indicate infection or inflammation in the urinary tract. This could be involving any part of the tract like kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.
Do write to us if you have any further queries on this.
Best.
