A member asked:
Do epithelial cells(6-8/hpf) leucocytes (4-5/hpf) slight itching after urination indicate uti in female 25 yr old??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily : The presence of epithelial cells may mean that the urine sample was contaminated with skin cells and throw off results. Hydrate well and if symptoms continue see your doctor to have urine rechecked and a culture sent

My doc presribed me amox-clav for a UTI but i'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection. No urge to urinate, or crazy pain. Just lots of vaginal itching, and slight burn when urinating. What should I do & does this sound like a UTI or a yeast infection?
