URINARY TRACT INFECTION AND ITS ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS AMONG PREGNANT FEMALES OF BALUCHISTAN

Abstract

During pregnancy, leg cramps are a common problem. The specific sorts and dimensions of the review of literature included a relative low-quality paper. After all, no data are available about urinary tract infections in pregnant women living in Wadi Addawser, so there isn't anything on how to take definite steps on specific management procedures let alone avoid the adverse results from it. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of bacteriologically verified urinary tract infection in pregnant women who attended maternity ward ，its risk factors and the most common antibacterial which infected pregnant women use. The article reports on an observation of 303 pregnant women from one county hospital clinic and what they recalled about certain aspects of their obstetric history. The sample was then collected using head-to-foot questioning. 53.5 % of the pregnant women in the sample had positive pathogens in their urine, the study results show. In total, E. coli (37%) accounted for the largest proportion and Klebsiella pneumoniae (27%) followed closely behind it. Antimicrobial agents used by infected women: amoxicillin and cefoxitin, respectively (40.1% & 21.6%) are the most commonly used antibiotics, while fusidic acid is used by few pregnant women (5.6%). Women with clinical symptoms including frequent urination, wetting oneself by mistake, lower abdominal pain, the color of urine changes, painful burning micturition and incomplete bladder evacuation accounted for nearly all the infected. Identifying the cause of symptoms is a good way to prevent and quickly respond to problems of urinary tract infection in pregnancy, so pathogens should be screened early on and infected cases treated promptly.
