Reasons for high white blood cell count in pregnant women

The human body is very susceptible to invasion by germs and various problems, not to mention pregnant women. Because there is a baby in the belly, the body is under a heavier burden and problems are more likely to occur. Therefore, pregnant women are generally the focus of attention in the family. Here we will talk about a common problem among pregnant women, the reason why the white blood cell count in pregnant women's urine is high, and how to deal with this problem.

There should be no white blood cells, red blood cells, proteins and other substances in urine routine. If white blood cells are present, it indicates a urinary tract infection. A normal person's morning urine may contain a very small amount of white blood cells, which is basically normal. If there is an increase in symptoms, it means there is inflammation.

It may be a urinary tract infection or there may be nothing wrong, and other auxiliary examinations are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Urinary tract infection is caused by direct invasion of bacteria (rarely by fungi, protozoa, and viruses), so it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Urinary tract infections often have certain triggers, so the patient should be carefully examined for urinary tract stones, kidney or ureteral malformations, etc. In addition to drug treatment, drink plenty of water and keep the daily urine volume above 2000ml. This will play the role of urinary tract flushing, which is also very important for the treatment of urinary tract infection. In addition, gonococcal urethritis is also very common nowadays. If it occurs, it should be treated as gonorrhea first. A large amount of clinical experience has been accumulated in the use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat urinary tract infections. For example, herbs such as Isatis root, Dianthus chinensis, Patrinia salviae gracile, and Plantago asiatica can be used to clear away heat and detoxify. In addition, attention should be paid to strengthening nutrition and improving physical fitness.

To sum up, if the number of urinary cells in pregnant women is high, it is very likely that they are infected. The special physical characteristics of pregnant women should be taken into consideration, so use less medication and pay more attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. If medication is needed, be sure to go to a regular hospital, because this not only affects adults but also the baby in the belly. Pregnant women should drink more water and can use Chinese medicine for treatment. I wish all pregnant mothers give birth to a healthy baby.
