Urinary Tract Infection During Pregnancy
Here are some tips on urinary tract infection during pregnancy
I’m Dr. Sharda Jain. I’m the director of Life Care Centre. This is one of the benchmark centers as far as the pregnancy care is concerned. I’m going to give you a tip to prevent Urinary tract infection during pregnancy. 5% of the patients who do not have any symptoms have asymptomatic bacteriuria. If this bacteriuria urinary infection is not treated then in 40% of the cases the infection can go up and infect the kidney. So it is essential during pregnancy that we have urine culture right at the beginning of the first 12 weeks. Now in case, there is no urinary culture detected then in that particular case we repeat this test in 2nd trimester and the 3rd trimester. Now how will you know that you have urinary tract infection?
1.You will have increased frequency- the passage of urine becomes frequent.
2.You have urgency- it means that you can’t hold the urine and in such cases once we find that the urine culture is positive, we treat your case. It is advised to you that do not ignore urinary tract infection during pregnancy. It is prone in patients of PCOS, diabetes and chronic discharges which women have so please do not ignore the symptoms.
