Urine analysis for culture.

What kind of urine tests are not taken by pregnant women, and an analysis for bakposev is also included in this number. What is it for? With this analysis, you can determine the bacteria that are in the body of a woman. That is, the biological fluid of a pregnant woman is used as a nutrient medium for growing pathogenic microflora in it.

If a woman is sick, a urine test will show not only the presence of bacteria, but also their sensitivity to certain drugs, which is important during pregnancy. As a result, the doctor will be able to prescribe the most gentle treatment that is safe for the mother and unborn child.

During pregnancy, for bacteriological culture, a urine sample is usually collected with a catheter, then the resulting liquid is taken to the laboratory and placed in a nutrient medium. After that, urine, saturated with pathogenic microorganisms, is placed in different test tubes and cleaned in a heating cabinet, where favorable conditions are created for the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

At the end of the study, on about 5-10 days, the doctor finds out what kind of microflora was in the woman's urine. If necessary, she is prescribed treatment.
