💥Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) during pregnancy is a common condition that needs prompt treatment due to potential risks for both the mother and baby. Here's a quick overview:

Why It's Common in Pregnancy

Hormonal changes relax the urinary tract, slowing urine flow.

The growing uterus can put pressure on the bladder and ureters.

Pregnant women have glycosuria (glucose in urine), which encourages bacterial growth.

💥Types of UTIs in Pregnancy

Asymptomatic bacteriuria – No symptoms, but bacteria are present in the urine.

Cystitis – Infection of the bladder; causes symptoms like urgency, frequency, and burning.

Pyelonephritis – Serious kidney infection, often with fever, flank pain, and vomiting.

💥Symptoms of Symptomatic UTI

Burning sensation while urinating

Frequent urge to urinate

Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

Pelvic pain or pressure

Fever and chills (especially if infection reaches the kidneys)

💥Diagnosis

Urinalysis and urine culture to confirm infection and identify the bacteria.

Routine screening is done even without symptoms (usually during the first prenatal visit).

💥Treatment

Safe antibiotics like amoxicillin, nitrofurantoin, or cephalexin (depends on gestational age and sensitivity).

Asymptomatic bacteriuria is also treated to prevent complications.

Always follow up with a test of cure after antibiotics.

💥Complications if Untreated

Pyelonephritis

Preterm labor

Low birth weight

Preeclampsia

💥 Preventive measures

Drink plenty of water

Urinate frequently and after in*******se

Wipe front to back after urinating

Avoid irritating feminine products
