Embarrassed
Hi this is embarrassing. Im going into my 3rd trimester and suddenly my vagina is more sensitive then usual and my gynae mentioned i have a "fishy" smell down there. Im tested positive for possible UTI. Im a very hygienic person, i dont know why this is happening. This is so embarrassing for me.
Dont be embarass! UTI does not mean u are not an unhygenic person. Women are more likely to get UTIs than men. The female anatomy makes it easy for bacteria from the vagina or rectal areas to get in the urinary tract because they are all close together. UTIs are common during pregnancy. That’s because the growing fetus can put pressure on the bladder and urinary tract. This traps bacteria or causes urine to leak. There are also physical changes to consider. As early as six weeks gestation, almost all pregnant women experience ureteral dilation, when the urethra expands and continues to expand until delivery. The larger urinary tract, along with increased bladder volume and decreased bladder tone, all cause the urine to become more still in the urethra. This allows bacteria to grow. To make matters worse, a pregnant woman’s urine gets more concentrated. It also has certain types of hormones and sugar. These can encourage bacterial growth and lower your body’s ability to fight off “bad” bacteria trying to get in. Take your anti biotics from doctor and u should be fine in no time.
