Infections of other parts of urinary tract in pregnancy - what does this mean
Infections of other parts of the urinary tract in pregnancy can occur due to increased levels of hormones, which can cause the urinary tract to be more prone to infection. this can be exacerbated by the increased pressure on the bladder and urethra due to the growing baby, which can cause urine to be trapped in the bladder and increase the risk of infection.
What happens during the disease - infections of other parts of urinary tract in pregnancy
The most common cause of infection of other parts of the urinary tract in pregnancy is escherichia coli, a type of bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract. this bacteria can enter the urinary tract through the urethra and cause infection. pregnancy can also cause changes in the urinary tract that make it easier for bacteria to enter and cause an infection. additionally, hormonal changes during pregnancy can decrease the body's ability to fight infection, making it more likely for an infection to occur.
