Hello
Thank you for your query
Few pus cells may be present in the urine at any time and does not necessarily diagnose urinary tract infections (UTI). We need to get a urine culture done and if it grows any organisms, then we can think in terms of UTI. Pain of UTI is usually just below the umbilicus. Only if it is very severe it goes to the flanks. And usually associated with fever. Usually the pain does not increase with movement. So i don't think you have urinary infections. However it will be a wise idea to get a culture done. Also get an ultrasound abdomen because there are so many reasons for the kind of pain you are describing. A cyst in the ovary, appendicitis, colitis, gall stones can all cause such kind of pain.
Hope that helps
God bless you
