Male urine leukocyte positive

When you go to the hospital for an examination, doctors usually ask you to do a routine urine test. Many diseases can be detected through routine urine tests. The most basic indicators in routine urine tests are white blood cells, proteins, and red blood cells. If any of these indicators is abnormal, it means that the urine is abnormal. If a man's urine white blood cells are positive, what does it generally mean?

What does positive urine leukocytes mean for men?

Generally speaking, the white blood cells detected in urine are actually called pus cells. If a positive result is found, it indicates a urinary tract infection. A positive urine test indicates inflammation of the urinary system, such as pyelonephritis, ureteritis, cystitis and urethritis. The most common sites of inflammation are the renal pelvis and bladder, because when the renal pelvis is infected, the body temperature rises quickly and systemic symptoms are present. Bladder infection can cause bladder irritation (frequent urination, urgency, and pain), but there are no systemic symptoms. Therefore, we can make a preliminary diagnosis based on this feature as to whether the urinary tract infection is pyelonephritis or cystitis.

What should I do if the urine test shows positive white blood cells?

1. Routine urine white blood cell positive. Routine urine white blood cell examination usually gives a negative result, but once a positive result appears, it is mainly because the white blood cell content in the urine exceeds the standard, and this can only indicate that inflammation occurs in the human body, resulting in an increase in white blood cells in the urine, but it cannot clearly determine where the inflammation occurs.

2. Drug treatment. For inflammatory diseases of the urinary system, it can be treated by oral penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. If the urinary tract infection is caused by anaerobic bacteria, antibiotics targeting anaerobic bacteria should also be used. At the same time, you can drink more hot water during the treatment process, which has a certain therapeutic effect on the removal of inflammatory cells. Although penicillin is the first choice for the treatment of this disease, for those patients who are allergic to penicillin, they need to switch to drugs such as erythromycin. When those who are not allergic to penicillin do not see any effect after oral penicillin, it may be due to mycoplasma or chlamydia infection, and the corresponding antibiotics should be used for treatment to achieve the effect.

If white blood cells appear in human urine and the urine test shows a positive white blood cell result, it means that the human urinary system has been affected by inflammation. At this time, antibiotics need to be used for anti-inflammatory treatment to achieve the purpose of cure. In addition, everyone should pay attention to personal hygiene in normal times, so as to better prevent the occurrence and recurrence of the disease.
