What to do if the white blood cells in the urine of pregnant women are high

Today, we are going to discuss issues related to pregnant women. Pregnant women are the family members that every family pays the most attention to and takes the most careful care of during the 10 months of pregnancy. Nowadays, pregnant women have to undergo prenatal checkups before giving birth to ensure the safety of both the baby and the pregnant woman. Many people have found that the white blood cell count in the urine of pregnant women is relatively high. So, what is going on? Next, let’s take a look at some information.

A routine urine test in late pregnancy shows an increase in white blood cells. In this case, the first possibility to consider is urinary tract infection, but the possibility of leucorrhea mixed in the urine needs to be ruled out. It is recommended that you clean your vulva before doing a routine urine test. When taking urine, you need to collect the middle urine and do not take the front urine for testing. If the level is still very high, it is recommended to use medication.

What should you do? The increase in white blood cell count in routine urine test indicates the possibility of inflammation. Since the vaginal opening and urethral opening of women are very close to the anus, cross contamination is likely to occur, which can easily induce inflammation. For example, bacterial infection causes urethritis or cystitis. It is recommended to go to a local regular hospital for specialist treatment and receive standardized diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the disease. It is recommended that you drink more water when you have nothing to do. Drinking water can flush the urethra and treat inflammation. And to keep the vulva area clean, it should be washed frequently with clean water.

If you check your urine next time, remember to clean your vulva in advance and collect midstream urine for testing. Have you had a cold recently? A cold can cause high white blood cell count. Have you had any other viral infection? Will it affect the fetus? The doctor should tell you. Didn’t the doctor answer you? Didn’t he check the cause for you? That’s too irresponsible of the doctor! You should ask the doctor. This way you will feel more at ease!

Through the introduction of the above materials, we can clearly understand the reason why the white blood cells in the urine of pregnant women are higher than normal. Pregnant women should make some relevant preparations before becoming pregnant and go to the hospital for a careful check-up to see if their body is suitable for pregnancy. This is to be responsible for themselves and their children and avoid accidents.
