My husband is healthy.
Follow-up question 2: I am currently taking Sanjin (a herbal medicine). How long will it take to recover?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, when a urinary tract infection occurs, it is recommended to avoid sexual activity and take active treatment measures. This period is not suitable for pregnancy. Because sexual activity can trigger or worsen urinary tract infection symptoms, and pregnancy is also one of the triggers. However, if pregnancy occurs, the treatment becomes very complex. It is necessary to control inflammation while avoiding medication that may harm the fetus. Medications can potentially cause fetal malformations, so after contracting a urinary tract infection, it is important to undergo treatment before considering pregnancy.
