Pregnant women are at high risk of developing cystitis because the hormone levels during pregnancy cause changes in the urinary system. The body releases more progesterone, which causes the muscles of the renal tubules to relax.

In addition, the uterus enlarges and squeezes the renal tubules, causing the urinary system to function more slowly. Cystitis during pregnancy can occur at any stage of pregnancy, but it is most common in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา, when the uterus is rapidly expanding and becoming much larger. The expanding uterus presses on the bladder, reducing bladder capacity and slowing down urine emptying. As a result, urine remains in the bladder for longer, allowing bacteria to build up and increasing the risk of infection. Pregnant women often have a weak bladder.

So they are unable to urinate completely and urine may flow back into the ureters and kidneys. This causes germs and bacteria to remain in the bladder and enter the kidneys, making it easier for them to get a kidney infection. Urine during pregnancy is less acidic and rich in glucose, which is an important factor that helps bacteria grow, resulting in easy infection and inflammation.

Lifestyle modification
