Abstract:
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common
bacterial infections during pregnancy and represents a significant concern for
maternal and fetal health. Physiological and anatomical changes in pregnancy
increase susceptibility to urinary infections, which may range from
asymptomatic bacteriuria to acute pyelonephritis. If left untreated, UTIs during
pregnancy can lead to serious complications such as preterm labor, low birth
weight, anemia, and increased perinatal morbidity.
