O23: Infections of genitourinary tract in pregnancy
O23.4: Unspecified infection of urinary tract in pregnancy
The urinary passages include the ureters, bladder and urethra. Urine flows from both kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. The urethra channels the urine outward from the bladder.
A urinary tract inflammation can be caused by a variety of pathogens.
An inflamed urinary tract can cause you to have pain in the lower abdomen. You can also find passing urine painful or more difficult. You may also need to pass urine very frequently or find that the urine is bloody. However, you may also have few or no symptoms at all.
