white cell urine!

[pearl79]

ok so i gave in and went back to the docs and checked about blood in my urine, said it was only in there half the time, other times has been trace white cells. So my question is, Why do i have just one white cell? no infection tho!! anyone had the same thing? could i have a tumor some where?
I recently had a renal ct scan and i kidney ultra sound all normal x

thanks

Have you asked your GP why he thinks you have WBC in your urine? He would be the best person to answer your questions.

Hi

Did your GP say their was no infection? you dont always know you have one....so I would ring tomorrow and either ask to speak to your GP or a nurse that will read your notes and put your mind at rest!

[pearl79]

yes she said there wasnt an infection, ive had it a couple of times, just a cell of white one, but sometimes i get trace red cells found... but not all

Hi Pearl

White cells can contaminate urine from the skin/ your genitals.

[pearl79]

really? how do we get white cells from there? thanks kirsty :)

[K1rsty]

They can be produced in the vagina - discharge etc. Please try to relax Pearl xxxx:flowers:

[pearl79]

aww thanks ..... i really do have HA badly .... thankyou so much for your reasurance :hugs:

[K1rsty]

No worries Pearl - The GP/nurse should explain things to you more. Take care xx

[Breezay]

If your dipstick only came back with white blood cells then chances are, there's no infection and you've contaminated your sample with vaginal cells, like others have said. Try not to worry. Your GP would have told you, on no uncertain terms, if there was any problems.

thanks breezay... i was thinking if it could come from the vagina but i dont have a infection in there, i recently had swabs :) do we natuarally have white cells in there??? xxx

[Breezay]

Yep - it's 100% natural :) I've done it myself a few times.. No infection, no inflammation, no kidney problems or bladder problems.. Just contaminated my sample! Whoops. Lol. I always have white blood cells in my urine. I probably always do my samples wrong. Lol

you are a star Breezay :bighug1:

Hi pearl

I agree with everyone, the White cells have come from the skin or vaginal area which is normal as there are white cells there, I've had this before and honestly this is nothing to worry about :)

Love
