Pus Cells in Urine 80-100 - #7919
Recently, a close family member of mine underwent a routine urine test, and the results indicated pus cells in urine 80–100, which is alarmingly high. The doctor mentioned this could be indicative of a severe urinary tract infection (UTI) or other underlying health conditions. While they are following prescribed treatments, I’m interested in understanding the Ayurvedic perspective on such conditions and how it can help address high pus cell counts naturally and effectively. In Ayurveda, the presence of pus cells in urine is often associated with an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to inflammation and infection in the urinary system. What are the primary causes of such an imbalance, and how does Ayurveda approach the treatment of severe UTIs or related issues? Are factors like diet, hydration, or stress considered significant contributors, and how can they be addressed holistically? I’ve read that certain Ayurvedic herbs, such as Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), and Varun (Crataeva nurvala), are effective for cleansing and strengthening the urinary tract. How do these herbs work in reducing infection, flushing out toxins, and bringing down the pus cell count? Are there specific Ayurvedic formulations, like Chandraprabha Vati or Mutrakrichantak Churna, that are recommended for such conditions? Another aspect I’m curious about is the role of dietary changes in managing high pus cell counts in urine. Are there foods that should be prioritized, such as cooling and hydrating items like coconut water or barley water? Conversely, should acidic, spicy, or processed foods be avoided to prevent further irritation and inflammation of the urinary tract? I’ve also seen mentions of Panchakarma therapies, such as Basti (medicated enemas), being used to detoxify the urinary system. How effective are these therapies for chronic or severe infections, and are they safe for someone experiencing acute symptoms? Lastly, if anyone has dealt with a similar issue of high pus cells in urine through Ayurvedic treatments, I’d love to hear about your experience. How effective was the treatment in reducing symptoms and normalizing urine test results? Any advice on finding skilled Ayurvedic practitioners or authentic herbal products for managing urinary health would be greatly appreciated.
