Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Probably you are suffering from candida(fungus) infection in genital tract.
You can take tablet clotrimazole 100 mg for vaginal use.It should be inserted deeply in the vagina at night for six consecutive nights.
Your condition need clinical correlation also.

Urine test is normal.
Up to 5 pus cells in urine are normal /HPF.
Epithelial cells are basically normal cells that represent contamination of the urine specimen with skin cells.It is very common and is not concerning.

Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
