What are the symptoms ?

Pregnant or not, it is not always easy to recognize and detect a urinary tract infection. The symptoms are numerous and some women feel them little. Be aware, however, that in general, cystitis manifests itself by pain in the lower abdomen, severe burning when urinating, a frequent urge to urinate – sometimes for just a few drops – and sometimes kidney pain. 

Do not let this kind of situation drag on! UTI is caused by bacteria (E-coli in 90% of cases), which affects the urethra and may then travel up to the bladder and sometimes even to the kidneys. To detect it and set up the appropriate treatment, the doctor will perform a test on a strip and decide on the treatment according to the progress of the infection and the risks to the baby. 

How to avoid a urinary tract infection?

A few simple actions should become lifestyle and hygiene habits. Do not forget to drink at least one and a half liters of water per day, two liters if you are pregnant. Above all, do not refrain from drinking to avoid going to urinate for fear of reliving the burns during urination. As you wipe off, run your paper from front to back to prevent bacteria from migrating into the vagina or bladder. A gesture to teach little girls who can sometimes be prone to repeated infections.

After sex, it is important to urinate to prevent bacteria from taking hold. Prefer cotton underwear to synthetic and loose pants so as not to squeeze the private parts. During pregnancy, infections may be more frequent because the bladder is compressed by the uterus and sometimes empties less well. Be vigilant.
