hi,what you are referring to is urinary tract infection.women are more prone to this than men because of closer proximity of urethra to the anus and the chances are further increased in pregnancy.its unlikely to acquire it from your partner.it occurs due to usage of public toilets,wiping from back forwards,etc.its nothing to worry.tenkorex is basically cephalexin which is a mild antibiotic and absolutely safe in pregnancy and take care of this infection.you must in addition to this drink lots of water and have cranberry juice for additional benefit.
take care.
