What Could 1-2/hpf Puss Cells, In Stool Test Suggest?

My father is 74 years old and by god s grace doesnt have any disease (sugar, B/P etc.). We got a routine checkup done on him recently. While blood tests were all normal and also ECG and Sonography, the stool test reported 1--2/hpf pus cells. Is that normal.He s had constipation for years.

Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

Don't worry.1 to 2 Pus cells per high power field need no concern.

Try to cure his constipation.

Fiber supplement can be given.

Chamomile in tea can be helpful.

More water.

Green leafy salad taken more.

Fiber food taken more like whole grain, wheat bran , apple , banana etc.

Avoid smoke.

Avoid gas forming food like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower etc.

Over the counter laxative can be use if no improvement.

If your symptoms increasing like blood in stool or abdominal pain then we will do further work up.Until then follow above measures for constipation.

I hope I will be helpful.
