Hi Doctor, I am 31 weeks pregnant now and had my urine test last week. Every other things seems normal apart from one thing which says bacteria FEW / HPF. I want to know whats the meaning of it. I am visiting my doc today but before that need more views from other doctors also. Thanks in advance...
Hi, Urinary tract infection is a common finding in pregnancy, especially in the last few months. Do you have any fever, burning sensation when passing urine or urgency? You need to know which type of bacteria and what antibiotic it is sensitive to. For this you will need to do urine - culture and sensitivity. Depending on this you could take the antibiotic course, which is safe in pregnancy. This will treat it. You need to get it checked as urinary tract infection if untreated may lead to preterm labor in some women. Hope this helps. Regards.
