Urinary tract infection following delivery - what does this mean
Urinary tract infections following delivery are caused by a bacterial infection that can occur when bacteria from the perineum or rectum enter the urethra and bladder during delivery. this can be exacerbated by a delay in urinating after delivery, which can allow the bacteria to multiply and cause an infection.
What happens during the disease - urinary tract infection following delivery
Urinary tract infections (utis) following delivery are caused by bacteria that enter the urinary tract through the urethra, often due to an increase in pressure on the bladder during labor. this pressure can cause the bladder to become stretched and irritated, allowing bacteria to enter. the bacteria can then travel up the urinary tract, leading to an infection. risk factors for developing a uti following delivery include a prolonged labor, a prolonged catheterization, and a lack of perineal hygiene.
