Abstract
Bacteriuri is the presence of microorganisms in the urine. The diagnosis of asymptomatic bacteriuri is established if there were ≥-105CFU / ml of bacteria in the urine and there were no clinical symptoms. If untreated, can cause complications in pregnant women such as preterm birth, low birth weight (LBW), and even risk of infant mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and characteristics of pregnant women suffering from asymptomatic bacteriuri at Obstetric and Gynecology Polyclinic, Dustira Hospital. This research is a descriptive study using primary data. Subjects in this study were 35 pregnant women who came to check into Obstetric and Gynecology Polyclinic, Dustira Hospital. Samples were taken by purposive sampling. In this study, the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women in Dustira Hospital in the period from February to March 2018 was 11.43%. The relatively high proportion of asymptomatic bacteriuria found in second trimester of pregnancy (20%) while in the first trimester of 9.09% and in the third trimester of 7.14%. This is related to physiological changes, increasing hormones and suppression of vesika urinary by the fetus. Based on parity, it was found that there were more asymptomatic bacteriuri in multipara compared to primipara. This is probably caused by the vulnerability of reproductive organs due to physiological changes that often occur. This causes muscle tone in the urinary vesika become weaker and disrupt the process of emptying urine. As a result frequent urinary stasis which is a risk factor for the occurrence of bacteriuri.
