What causes high white blood cells in urine flow?

Elevated white blood cells in urine may result from both physiological and pathological factors, such as urinary tract infections or prostatitis.

I. Physiological Factors

When the genital area remains in a moist environment for prolonged periods, it may increase the risk of pathogenic bacterial infection and subsequently lead to urinary tract infections, which can cause an elevated number of white blood cells in the urine. Maintaining proper personal hygiene can help reduce the likelihood of infection.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Elevated mucus threads and white blood cells in urine are usually caused by urethritis leading to increased secretions. This should be evaluated alongside symptoms such as increased white blood cells, frequent urination, and urgency. If present, a diagnosis of urinary tract infection may be considered. Medications such as cefdinir capsules or levofloxacin capsules may be taken under medical guidance.

2. Prostatitis
White blood cells in urine are typically identified through routine urinalysis and commonly appear in cases of urinary tract infections or male prostate disorders. These conditions are often accompanied by leukocytosis. Treatment may include azithromycin tablets as directed by a physician.

In addition, elevated urinary white blood cells could also be caused by other conditions such as glomerulonephritis or urinary tract stones. It is recommended to drink plenty of water to promote urination, which helps dilute and flush out accumulated toxins in the body and kidneys. Attention should also be paid to personal hygiene, including regular bathing and changing clothes.
