Feeling that burning sensation again and im 20 weeks. Im going to call my gynac for sure, but meanwhile anything safe at home that gives some relief? Bohot uncomfortable hai.
At my hospital, the nursing staff strictly told me never to self-medicate for burning urination. They ran a quick urine culture test and gave me the exact safe prescription within a day.
I panicked so much when I felt that burning sensation, thinking it would harm the baby! Just drink lots of fluids to flush it out, and let your doctor prescribe safe pregnancy-friendly medicines.
I had a UTI in my second trimester and drinking barley water really helped with the burning. However, I only got completely cured after completing the antibiotic course my doctor gave me.
Do not try to treat a UTI completely at home during pregnancy. Drink plenty of water and tender coconut water for temporary relief, but go straight to your gynac for antibiotics.
While you are waiting to see your doctor, you can have unsweetened cranberry juice to help soothe the bladder. But please remember, an untreated UTI can lead to serious complications, so medical care is a must.
My gynecologist warned that home remedies cannot cure a bacterial UTI and ignoring it can trigger preterm labor. You must get a urine routine test done and take the doctor's prescribed treatment.
