bladder problem

[jeff]

well my g.f has a bladder problem, and we want to take a pregnancy test just incase. she has to pee like every 5 seconds... and there was a tiny bit of blood she said that came out. she also said she had puss in her pee. so would her bladder infection mess up the pregnancy test?

Urethritis is very common in both men and women. It can be treated easily but must be treated. It will not go away on its own. Only slow down and speed up - over and pver. So, see a doctor and get the appropriate antibiotic.

It is not clear why you feel a pregnancy test is necessary. There is no relationship between pregnancy and urethritis. The presenting symptoms, as described, are urethritis. Pregnancy tests should not be confused the bacteria in her urine. They measure other things.

well my g/f have been feeling like she is going to throw up for the past 4 days, but she hasn't thrown up. the first thing the doctor asked her was "are you pregnant?" since her doctor is her aunt and her mom was in there with her, she said she deosn't have sex. so the bacteria in the pee shouldn't mess up the pregnancy test?

Well, another good reason that physicians should not reat family members. A non-related doctor who had banned the mother from the room would be able to ask proper questions, get more honest responses and give appropriate advice. Your g/f is in a worse position than if she had not seen a doctor.
