Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I would like to consult. I am currently 4 months pregnant, but recently for the past two days, I have been experiencing significant pain during urination, and my vaginal opening is particularly red and swollen. I also have a feeling of incomplete urination. What should I do about urinary tract infections during pregnancy? I haven't had a thorough check-up at the hospital yet, nor have I taken any anti-inflammatory medication.Doctor's answer:
Because you are currently 4 months pregnant, if this redness and swelling at the vaginal opening reappears, and if you experience incomplete urination again, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. You should first go to the hospital for a detailed urinalysis to determine the severity of the infection. This must be done after the examination, and if medication is required, it should be administered accordingly.
