Can cystitis cause a positive pregnancy test?

I had a severe UTI which I confused with early pregnancy symptoms, but my doctor cleared it up. If you are experiencing burning sensation along with a positive test, please see a doctor immediately. UTIs during pregnancy need careful and prompt treatment.

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, usually caused by a UTI, and it does not produce the hCG hormone required to trigger a positive pregnancy test. If your test is positive, you are likely pregnant. I highly recommend visiting your gynecologist for a blood test to confirm.

No, a bladder infection will not cause a positive pregnancy test. Please consult your doctor to treat the cystitis and confirm the pregnancy safely.

Pretty sure cystitis is just a UTI-like thing. Urine infections can't mess with pregnancy tests because those tests only look for the baby hormone. You should probably get both checked out by a clinic.

Hey, don't stress too much! A bladder infection can make you feel super bloated and weird, but it won't give you a false positive. If you got a double line, congratulations might be in order! Go get it checked by a doc to be sure.

Actually yaar, cystitis is just a painful bladder infection. It has nothing to do with pregnancy hormones, so it can't cause a false positive on a home test kit. Better to show a doc and get some antibiotics if it is burning.

I track my wife's health data on our family app. Cystitis is a urinary tract issue and won't affect the hCG levels that pregnancy kits measure. If the kit shows a positive line, it's best to log it and book an OB-GYN appointment right away.
