Is Pus Cells In Urine Harmful During A Pregnancy?

I am pregnant in the 30th week. One week back, my urine test showed that I have pus cells, the doctor put me on suprax 400 and urispas for 6 days. Suprax didn t work well, and the doctor said that I need to be admitted to the hospital as my urine test showed 40 pus cells, I was admitted and took 6 doses of rocyfeen again with urispas. Now, i m released from the hospital and i m put on Zinnat waiting the result of the culture. Is this harmful for my baby and what are the chances that I go into preterm labor

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I Think I have understood your concern.

Urine infection during pregnancy is a bit concern for doctors. If untreated it can cause chronic infection in urinary bladder or urine carrying tubes - ureters . Sometimes there us risk of developing serious kidney problem called as pyelonephritis .As you are aware that if untreated it can also lead to preterm labour.

Please do not panic Please take a full proper course of antibiotics as will be suggested after urine culture and sensitivity test.

Drink plenty of water, include berry fruits in your diet. Cap Vibact DS once a day for ten days will be of help.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
