Thank you.History of Treatment and Effect: The doctor during registration did not provide specific explanations for the items, nor did they mention any issues.

Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, if there are abnormalities in the urinalysis after pregnancy, such as the presence of protein in the urine, it may indicate abnormal kidney function. It is recommended to monitor your blood pressure. If your blood pressure rises, there may be a risk of developing preeclampsia. If you collected a midstream urine sample for testing, it suggests the presence of inflammation in the urine. If you do not experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, or pain, it is advisable to drink more water and urinate more frequently. If there are no symptoms during pregnancy, medication may not be necessary. If you collected a midstream urine sample, it is likely that the inflammation is caused by bacteria at the urethral opening, which may not be very accurate. You can consider a retest, pay attention to hygiene in the lower body, and also drink more water and urinate more frequently. Generally, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the baby, so there is no need to worry excessively.
