Default white blood cells in urine

Has anyone had white blood cells in the urine? I have these. I've had all the blood tests done and everything was ok I've had antibiotics to clear a water infection everything is now clear but the white cells are still there. I'm just beginning to panic. I've had the water analysed again mid cycle but still there but no red blood cells were found. Has anyone sent off their medicals with white blood cells in their urine and what was the outcome? If anyone can help I would really appreciate to share in your knowledge.

Sorry, not going to be much help, but as far as i know, white blood cells in your urine means your body is still fighting an infection, so it may not have cleared up...but i might be wrong...im sure on of the nurses or docs on the forum will be able to help..

good luck, and let us know the outcome !!!!

As well as the antibiotics try cranberry juice and good old robinsons barley which both help to reduce infection.

Drinking plenty of fluids can help to prevent infection. Fluids help to flush out your kidneys and bladder, to prevent the build-up of debris in which bacteria can grow. Cranberry juice helps prevent the growth of bacteria as sort of natural antibiotic and is known to help reduce the risk of developing urine infections.

Just get the asda tesco sort or ocean spray, they all sell it in the fruit juice section.

I recently had my medical done, they found blood in my urine, mid cycle, i have also had antibiotics, they have now sent all medical results to australia saying i had passed, they sent me a copy of lab results, they said no red cells found, so fingers crossed everything is ok

Talk to your doctor. If their is still microscopic traces of blood in your urine, he may suggest further tests - a small camera may be used - however I am informed that some people always have small traces in their urine and are otherwise without symptoms and that there is no danger. But get it checked out. I did - sever years ago and I am fine - but when tested traces still show up. Aparantly it "just does" with some people.
