Changes in the urinary system during pregnancy. The body goes through many changes during pregnancy. Significant anatomical changes occur in the urinary system. Under the influence of the hormone progesterone, the kidneys and the ureters dilate. This can lead to a slow down in the flow of urine through the ureters and therefore an increased risk of urinary infection in pregnancy.
These 3 changes may be clues to other problems. How your bladder functions every day can tell you a lot about your overall health. How often you urinate during the day and during the night, the color of your urine and whether you can âhold itâ all provide clues to health conditions that donât involve your urinary system.
