All you need to know about Asymptomatic Bacteriuria

About:


An infection of the urinary tract occurs when bacterial colonization takes places in the urinary tract.


The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in non-pregnant and pregnant women is 2-10%. [1]


-Usually shows no symptoms
-Self Treatable
-Short-term, resolves within a few days to weeks


An asymptomatic urinary tract infection usually shows no signs or symptoms. However, if not treated, it can lead to other complications like pyelonephritis.


Symptoms:


Because people with these conditions show no visible symptoms, a urine test is the only means of detecting it. If there is a positive urine culture, only then it can be detected.


These tests are usually carried out during pregnancy, as pregnant women are at the highest risk.


Treatment


Self-care:
Most cases of Bacteriuria in non-pregnant women do not require any treatment. The bacteria washes off on its own. Prevention can help avoid the infection, by drinking plenty of water and maintaining personal hygiene.


Medication:
Treatment is recommended for pregnant women. The following antibiotics may be recommended:
- Ampicillin
- Amoxicillin
- Cephalexin
- Nitrofurantoin



Specialists:
Asymptomatic UTI is generally not a cause of concern and may not require any treatment unless symptoms show up or you’re pregnant. The disease can be properly managed through treatment and by maintaining personal hygiene.
