Hello and welcome to HCM,
The urine examination shows presence of white blood cells.
Presence of white blood cells suggests presence of infection in the urine sample and thus urinary tract infection.
I would advise you to consult your primary healthcare provider with report for prescription of antibiotic for treatment of the infection.
In case of urinary tract infection, plenty of fluids and citrus fruits juice especially cranberry juice should be taken.
Thanks and take care
