My wife is currently pregnant. One month ago, she experienced abdominal pain, and a scan confirmed a urinary tract infection, which resolved within 3 to 4 days with medication. Since then, we have not had sexual intercourse. Can we now have sex normally during her pregnancy? For context, she is eating normally, does not have vomiting, her hemoglobin is 12, blood pressure is normal, and her doctor has confirmed everything is fine. She is following a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, eggs, and leafy greens, and currently has no other issues. I would like a detailed explanation regarding safety and precautions.

Yes, sex is safe during a healthy pregnancy, and since your wife has recovered from the UTI, has no pain, and is eating well with normal hemoglobin and BP, theres no restriction. Be gentle, avoid positions that put pressure on her belly, and stop if she feels pain, bleeding, or unusual discharge. If she develops any discomfort, pause and consult your doctor. With regular checkups, a balanced diet, and care, sex is okay at this stage. A Urine Routine & Culture test and a Pelvic ultrasound can help rule out any causes.

I have taken multiple antibiotics, and later my urine report showed normal results. However, I still feel like the infection is present. Today, I did another urine routine test and have attached the report. Kindly review it and advise further.

Hi, I am Vimal. I had premarital sex a year ago. I took all the tests, and all were negative. However, I still have lower abdominal pain and penile pain while urinating. I also have white discharge from my penis. I feel I may be affected with an STD. Please check my report and provide clear guidance? Thank you.
