• Why does "burning and urine inflammation" occur more than in pregnant women?

1. Usually hormones and chemical changes in the first three months of pregnancy affect the urinary tract and limit its activity, which causes it to function slowly. The rate of urine flow decreases and the urine usually tends to stagnate, thus affecting the bladder wall and weakening the natural protection in it that prevents the multiplication of microbes and becomes urine Less acid, which promotes inflammation in the urethra.

2. Often a pregnant woman cannot completely empty her bladder, especially in (the second trimester of pregnancy), and here the consequences are more, that is, she is exposed to urinary tract infections frequently.

3. Pregnant women with diabetes during pregnancy usually get infections in the urethra.
