What should pregnant women pay attention to when they urinate more frequently at night?

Once there is a pregnant woman in love, it is a matter of great joy. Because in the pregnant woman's belly is a completely new life and the future of a family. For the sake of pregnant women and their children, people are more concerned about the changes in pregnant women's bodies. Many pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy experience increased urination at night. What should pregnant women pay attention to if they urinate more frequently at night?

1. Drink more water, at least 8 glasses of water a day. Do not hold your urine, empty your bladder completely when you urinate.

2. Wipe from front to back after defecation to prevent bacteria in the stool from being brought near the urethra.

3. Wash your vulva every day with mild soap and water to keep it clean. Avoid using feminine hygiene products or strong alkaline soaps that can irritate the urethra and genitals, which can make the genitals more susceptible to bacterial growth.

4. Exercise restraint in sexual intercourse, especially in the first three months after pregnancy and before delivery. Sexual intercourse should be avoided as much as possible. Even if there is occasional sexual intercourse, both men and women (and both parties) should clean their sexual organs and vulva. The woman should also urinate once after intercourse to flush the urethra with urine to reduce the chance of urinary tract infection.

5. Change and wash your underwear frequently, and wear pure cotton underwear and pure cotton crotch pantyhose.

6. Sleeping on the left side. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will compress the bilateral ureters when lying in the supine position, causing urine to retain and make it easy to get infected. Lying on the side, especially on the left side, can relieve the pressure of the uterus on the ureter, which is not only beneficial for the smooth flow of urine and the prevention of urinary tract infection, but also beneficial for increasing the blood supply to the fetus.

7. Go to the hospital regularly for routine urine tests. Even if there are no symptoms of urinary tract infection, urine should be checked every half month or at most once a month to detect changes in urine in time and get treatment. Once the disease occurs, choose appropriate medications for active treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

9. Go to the hospital for urine routine examination, urine bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. Find out what kind of bacteria is infecting the urinary tract and what antibiotics the bacteria is sensitive to. Then take appropriate measures based on the specific circumstances of the inspection results. In this way, we will not use drugs blindly, but will be able to take targeted measures, greatly improving the clinical cure rate.

Warm reminder: Pregnant women need to take medication seriously and with caution. If the patient has a urinary tract infection during pregnancy, active treatment is required. It is wrong to use medicine casually. At this time, it is necessary to consider the impact of the drug on the mother and whether it will harm the fetus.
