Does UTI Or Kidney Infection Cause Miscarriage?
Question: Hi, im nearly 7 weeks pregnant and have just found out that I have a uti/kidney infection. The urine sample has been sent for testing and i have been put on amoxicillion. I have had a temperate today up to 37.7. Can this cause a miscarriage or have any other adverse effects?
Brief Answer:
Does not cause miscarriage.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A urinary tract infection is common among females during pregnancy. This can be easily treated with the help of antibiotics. You can increase the intake of fresh cranberry juice to keep the urinary tract clean.
The mild rise in temperature is due to the infection. It will not cause any harmful effect on the baby. You can get a urine culture done and choose the antibiotic best for you.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
