Urine pus cells: 8–10 /HPF is it a problem .. does it need to be cured plz suggest on this problem got

Hello. A urine pus cell count of 8–10 / HPF is mildly elevated and can suggest urinary tract inflammation or infection, but it needs to be interpreted along with symptoms and other urine findings. If you have symptoms such as burning during urination, increased frequency, urgency, lower abdominal pain, fever, or foul-smelling urine, further evaluation is required. In such cases, a urine culture and sensitivity test is recommended before starting antibiotics. If you do not have urinary symptoms, this mild increase can sometimes be due to dehydration, contamination of the sample, or recent physical activity, and may not need treatment.
Next Steps
For now, drink plenty of fluids and repeat a proper mid-stream clean-catch urine test if advised by your doctor. Avoid taking antibiotics without medical consultation. Please consult a physician with your full urine report and symptoms (if any) for appropriate guidance.

Urine pus cells 8–10/HPF suggest mild urinary tract inflammation. If you have no symptoms (burning urination, fever, pain, frequent urination), it often does not need treatment. What to do: • Drink plenty of fluids • Maintain genital hygiene • Repeat urine routine after a few days See a doctor if symptoms appear or if pus cells persist—urine culture may then be needed.
