Hi AAAA
Thanks for postingyour query.
Presence of > 3 pus cells/ HPF in a female is considered as urinary tract infection.
As such there is no correlation between D&C and UTI.
Presence of renal stones may cause obstrution with proliferation of bacteria in collected urine.
Size of renal stones is small and any stone <5-6mm may pass in urine spontaneously after drinking plenty of water.
Have you undergone renal function test like serum creatinine and blood urea?
What was their reports?
As such 4.5 mm sized renal stones is not harmful but you should consult with physician/ urologist for urinary tract infection.
You should go for urine culture and sensitivity and choose the appropriate antibiotic which is also safe for pregnancy.
You should alsotake urine alkalizer for preventing increase in size of stones.
Alkalizer by inhibiting the growth of bacteria may prevent size incement of stone.
Put your views if any.
Best regards,
Dr.Mayank Bhargava

Hi AAAAA
You should go for renal function test. Although your urine report and USG suggest presence of stone and UTI but what happens sometime that presence of pus cells and RBC in urine may due to glomerulonephritis at kidney level.
You should avoid tomatoes, spinach, citrus fruits, brinjal, non veg.
Take plenty of water.
< 3 pus cel/ HPF for a female is considered as normal.
1-2 RBC may be presentbut more than this is abnormal.

Hi,
Epithelial cells are normal cells which are shed off from urinary tract.
Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of glomeruli (microscopic unit of kidney) which sequentially involve kidney and derange renal function test.
Egg is considered as vegetarian.
