Brief Answer:
She may have urinary tract infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

Before answering your question it is very important for me to know whether she is holding any sign and symptoms of urine infection like fever, vomiting, burning in micturation, dysuria, urgency etc?

Can you upload her urine report?

Normally bacteria are present in urine samples, they are normal bacterial flora or may be present due to contamination of urine.

So for significant bacteriuria she should work for urine culture and sensitivity and colony count of bacteria.

Meanwhile, you are uploading her report if she is experiencing symptoms of urinary tract infection, (which is a very common infection in female) she can follow my advice-

-Drink a lot of water orally.
Maintain good basic hygiene
-Never hold her urine for a long
-Use loose fitting cotton undergarments
-Practice safe sex with the use of condom

Please revert me back as soon as possible.

Hope to hear soon from you.

Good luck.
Regards

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to find out from you all again.

I have gone through your urine reports it reveals ome kind of urinary infection.

As you said she is one month pregnant and she is not having much symptoms, in my feeling before going to treatment for UTI (urinary tract infection) she should go for a repeat urine analysis test with some other lab and go for culture and sensitivity of urine before taking antibiotic treatment for infection.

During early pregnancy, it is advisable not to consume unnecessary medication unless indicate. Therefore my suggestion to repeat tests. In the interim she should take at least 3-4 liters of water per day. Also follow my advice as mentioned in my former discussion.

Hope some of it is useful.

Please feel free to discuss and add more.

Good luck.
