A member asked:

Hi i'm am 20 weeks pregnant and just got diagnosed with a kidney infection after feeling very dizzy and almost faint and unsteady. just wondering is this normal with a uti or kidney infection. it was very scary?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: A severe kidney infection could produce the symptoms you had. More likely you were dehydrated. Drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. Do take the medication prescribed for the infection. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
