How To Treat UTI During Pregnancy?
Hello! Im in 7 week pregnancy. Before it l had very often UTI symptoms.My tests was always good as l try to drink a lot and dont eat sweet things, but one test detected bacteria e coli, lt was before pregnancy 2 months. l was feeling good and now in 7 week l feel presure on my uterus and l need to go to the toilet often. My gp microbiology test doesnt shows any bacteries inside my urine.But from my experience l know that l have a UTI .I have the symptoms. Is possible that l drink too much before test and l remove bacteria to the minimum thats why the test doesnt shows nothing? Where should l do the test to be sure that my urine is clear? Im afraid about my baby. I dont want to stop drinking to create more e coli in my urine. But it seems that the microbiology gp test just detected e coli when my irine have a very bad condition. What l should to do? Thank you.

Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options .
1 ) First of all do not panic .
2 ) If you are pregnant and feel like having urine infection, please get morning's first sample of urine tested for urine routine examination and urine culture and sensitivity test.
This will surely help to rule out urinary tract infection.
At the same time, if there is any underlying infection then it can identify the bacteria and suitable antibiotics also.
I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
