Suggest cure for urinary infection
Patient: I m 26 years old n 26weeks pregnant, last week my urine was tested and there was a trace of protein...i was later prescribed amoxicillin caps which I started taking yesterday.. my questions are; (1)will it affect my baby in any way and (2)is it safe 4 me to still have intercourse with my husband? Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion when there is albumin in urine the high BP is to be ruled out.If the BP is normal there is nothing to worry.You are prescribed amoxicillin capsules may be for urinary tract infection(UTI).It does not cause any harm to the baby.And yes you can have intercourse with your husband.Usually intercourse is best avoided during the first 3 months and in last months of pregnancy.I just want to say a few things regarding UTI.UTI is the most common infection seen in pregnancy.It should be treated because untreated UTI cause irritation of uterus leading to preterm pains.And taking adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day prevent UTI.So I suggest you to take adequate fluids and also rule out any high BP.As such nothing to worry.Hope this helps.Best regards...
