Hello,

UTI can cause low abdominal pain and other conditions can cause similar pain as well. Pregnant women are at increased risk for UTI. The best way to know if the pain you are experiencing is from UTI or not is to have a urinalysis and a urine culture. According to the results, the doctor can decide if this is an infection or not.
If bleeding happens then a complication with the pregnancy should be considered and having your blood BHCG checked and transvaginal ultrasound is mandatory to rule out an ectopic pregnancy.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
