How is urinary tract infection caused?

Patient's question:

The sister from the neighbor has always been in poor health. This year, she finally got pregnant, but during her pregnancy, she didn't pay attention to hygiene in her sexual life. Her discharge began to increase continuously, and she didn't clean her labia majora and minora properly. Later, she developed pyelonephritis. So, how does urinary tract infection occur?

Doctor's answer:

The condition of urinary tract infection that the patient mentioned is commonly associated with factors such as poor personal hygiene or lack of hygiene during sexual activity. It is mostly caused by bacterial infections. In clinical diagnosis, a variety of broad-spectrum antibiotics are often used, along with symptomatic medications for treatment. However, since the patient is currently pregnant, it is necessary to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a thorough examination and diagnosis, and consult with the doctor to determine the best course of action.
