What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy?

am 10 weeks pregnant now.

For morning sickness I could not drink much water through my first 8 weeks of pregnancy.
I did a urine analysis at 8 weeks time. My pus cells were 20-25 HPF, epithelial cells were 10-12/HPF, Leukocytes (++).

I took Amoxicillin for 7 days 3 times each day.

Now after 10 weeks I did another urine analysis.
Now my pus cells uncountable, epithelial cells 20-25 /HPF, Leukocytes (+++).

recently I have a lower abdomen pain that spreads to the leg area.


can you help me what is my problem?

mHello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the pus cells in microscopy examination of urine suggests infection.The
urine culture and sensitivity needs to be done for accurate diagnosis of organism causing the infection and for the accurate treatment.Though amoxicillin is an antibiotic the bacteria causing the infection might not been sensitive to it.So the presence of pus cells even after the treatment might suggest inadequate treatment or recurrence of infection.Dont worry consider doing culture and sensitivity test for apt treatment.The pain might be due to urinary tract infection or uterine irritation to infection.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day and cranberry juice to prevent urinary tract infection.
