High squamous epithelial cells in routine urine may be related to diseases such as urethritis, urethral stone or urethral tumor.
The front end of the urethra is dominated by squamous epithelium, and when a urinary tract infection occurs, there can be an increase in the shedding of squamous epithelium, and routine urinalysis can reveal an increased number of squamous epithelial cells, which will require further urine culture.
If there are stones, tumors and other lesions in the bladder or urethra, it can also lead to increased shedding of squamous epithelium in the urethra. Further ultrasound and CT examination is needed, and urethroscopy and cystoscopy can be performed if necessary.
In women, due to their special physiological structure, the urethra and vagina are close to each other, so vaginal secretions are easily mixed into the urine. The vaginal epithelium is squamous epithelium, so when the squamous epithelial cells in the urine are high, there is also a possibility of contamination by vaginal secretions.
The treatment for high squamous epithelial cells in the urine will depend on the cause of the elevated squamous epithelial cells. If it is caused by a urinary tract infection, a urine culture is performed and sensitive medications are selected based on the results. If it is caused by diseases such as urethral stones or urethral tumors, a biopsy is performed if necessary. If a woman has a lot of leukorrhea, she also needs to be treated with intravaginal medication.
Urine routine squamous epithelial cell increase should not be nervous, can go to a professional hospital urology department inquiry, please physician combined with their own symptoms comprehensive judgment, if necessary, follow the doctor’s instructions systematic treatment.
