High leukocytes, no nitrates, no blood and no bacterial growth...am I one of you?
34f, recently diagnosed with Grave's disease and HS
March 8 - went to a new OBGYN and had a painful pap. Experienced cramping, spotting, urgency to urinate and cloudy urine days following pap smear. I did have a yeast infection that cleared up with 2 fluconazole pills (I've gotten many paps done and this is the first time any of this happened)
March 30 - all symptoms gone except urgency to urinate and started experiencing lower back aches. Saw my PCP and she did a urine culture and urinalysis.
Now - just found out that my urinalysis showed high leukocytes, no nitrates, no blood, and normal skin flora.
I'm seeing a urologist next week to try to figure things out. Has anyone had this happen to them? I'm freaking out 😭
Background: I had an untreated bladder infection for 7 months in 2024-2025...I noticed sweet/weird smelling urine and urgency to urinate sometimes. Definitely did not feel like a UTI so I didn't see my PCP until 7 months later. My CBC showed wbc fighting an infection, urine culture came back with e.coli and it took 2 rounds of antibiotics to clear.
