I had a urine infection last week and got tested for that. Now im wondering if the infection can mess with a pregnancy test result somehow. Matlab can it show false positive? Just confused na.
Haha, imagine if it could! Then every time I had a UTI, I'd be pregnant. 😉 No, seriously, a urine infection does not make a pregnancy test positive. The test looks for pregnancy hormones, not infection. Better to get checked for UTI if you think you have one!
My mother-in-law used to say many things, but actually, for something like this, only the doctor can tell properly. A urine infection is different from pregnancy, amma. One cannot show up as the other. Please see your gynaecologist for clarity.
Nahi beta, urine infection aur pregnancy alag-alag cheezein hain. UTI ke symptoms alag hote hain, aur pregnancy test toh sirf HCG hormone dekhta hai. Agar symptoms hain toh doc ko dikha lo, dono cheezein ek saath check ho jaayengi.
No, a urine infection cannot make a pregnancy test positive. Pregnancy tests detect a specific hormone called hCG. If you're having symptoms of a UTI, please get it treated by a doctor, it's important during pregnancy too.
It's easy to get confused with all the new feelings and changes your body goes through! But no, a urine infection definitely won't cause a positive pregnancy test. They are two different conditions. If you suspect either, please talk to your doctor.
No, a urine infection (UTI) won't show up as a positive on a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test detects the HCG hormone, which is only present when you're pregnant. However, some early pregnancy symptoms can feel similar to a UTI. Best to get both checked if you're unsure.
