Can a urinary infection affect a pregnancy test?

Yes, a urinary infection can potentially affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test. It is recommended to wait until you have finished taking any antibiotics before taking a pregnancy test to ensure the most accurate results. If you suspect you may be pregnant or are trying to conceive, it is important to speak with a pharmacist or healthcare provider to ensure any medication you are taking is safe for pregnancy. If your menstrual period is still delayed after 7 days, it is advised to consult with your doctor for further evaluation.
