Patient's question:
At seven months pregnant, having smelly urine - what could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
If you think the odor is abnormal, it could be an infection in the urinary tract or vagina. It is recommended to check a urinalysis and a vaginal discharge test. If an infection is confirmed, treatment should be started as soon as possible, and topical medication can be used. If there is no infection, it may be the result of hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy. Generally, it is normal for urine to smell after pregnancy.After a woman becomes pregnant, to adapt to the needs of fetal growth and development, various hormones secreted by the placenta cause a series of changes in the body's systems. Among these, the changes in the reproductive system are the most significant.
