Infections of urethra in pregnancy - what does this mean
Infections of the urethra in pregnancy occur when bacteria, such as e. coli, enter the urethra due to a decrease in the body's natural defenses during pregnancy. this can lead to an infection of the urethra, which can cause pain, burning, and difficulty urinating.
What happens during the disease - infections of urethra in pregnancy
The infection of the urethra in pregnancy is often caused by a bacterial organism, such as escherichia coli or staphylococcus aureus, which can enter the urethra through the vagina or anus. this is due to the increased levels of estrogen in pregnancy, which can cause the urethral walls to become more relaxed, allowing bacteria to more easily enter the urethra. the bacteria can then travel up the urethra and cause an infection, leading to symptoms such as pain, burning, and difficulty urinating.
