Nothing: Just about every voided urine from a female washes a few cells from surrounding labia and vagina and skin. Thus a few normal Squamous epithelial cells. Which are of no consequence.

Here are some...: The presence of squamous cells in urine denotes squamous cells normally detached from skin or distal part of the urethra or pathological change on the bladder mucosa resulting from chronic inflammation, which may be related with stone or bladder tumor. Most common reason for seeing squamous cells is contamination from vaginal discharge by careless urine collection-with no clinical significance.
