Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1]Firstly do not panic.
2] UTI recurring during pregnancy in early gestation weeks has its effects on pregnancy like risk of preterm delivery , at 38 weeks now you need not worry about it. If your symptoms have subsided then please do not worry.
3] I will suggest to have urine culture and sensitivity test to find out UTI causing bacteria and effective antibiotic for the same.
4] Please have plenty of water ,8 to 10 glasses per day.
5] Please be sure that UTI is not going to harm your baby.
6] May GOD bless you with bundle of JOY.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
