Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) during Pregnancy: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment & Prevention
UTIs during pregnancy can be concerning, with symptoms like frequent urination, burning sensation, cloudy urine, pelvic pain, fever, and chills. Causes include bacterial overgrowth, anatomical changes, urinary retention, and sexual activity. Diagnosis involves urinalysis, urine culture, routine screening, and follow-up tests. Treatment typically includes antibiotics like penicillins, cephalosporins, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin, along with increased fluid intake and urinary analgesics. Complications may include preterm labor, kidney infections, and low birth weight. Prevention strategies include staying hydrated, practicing good hygiene, emptying the bladder regularly, urinating after intercourse, and attending regular prenatal care appointments.
