HI and thanks for this query.

Yes, there is a reason to be concerned because these findings are suggestive o a urinary tract infection(UTI). The good news is that this is easily treatable with antibiotics. Your doctor should also try to probe further if there are any possible explanations as to why you are having UTI and address them. This would help prevent future infections.Beside antibiotics, you should drink abundant quantities of water daily. Also, cranberry juice can be of additional help.

In all. concerning for a UTI. Consult your doctor and get treated probably with antibiotics.
