Pregnant women are more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to hormonal changes that relax the urinary tract muscles and increase the risk of urine stagnation. Additionally, the growing uterus can exert pressure on the bladder, making it harder to fully empty, which can lead to bacterial growth. The immune system also undergoes changes during pregnancy, diminishing its ability to fight off infections. These factors combined create a favorable environment for UTIs to develop.
