Introduction: Upon occurrence of a pelvic floor dysfunction, the chances of developing urinary incontinence or vaginal prolapse increase. Such conditions, in turn, may lead to a urinary tract infection (UTI). In pregnant women, the pelvic floor dysfunction mainly occurs due to the weight of the womb, which could be a cause of the UTI. Objective: To determine the association between the pelvic floor dysfunction and the occurrence of UTI in pregnant women. Methods: Observational research of analytical cross-sectional type. The population included pregnant women between 18 to 35 years old from 5 health centers of Lima. The pelvic floor dysfunction was assessed through the questionnaire “The Pelvic Floor Inventories Leiden” (PelFIs), and it was divided into three components: vaginal swelling, urination pattern, and urinary incontinence. The UTI was measured based on three questions in a section of the questionnaire. Variables such as age, physical activity, occupation, and weight were included in the section of general questions within the questionnaire. Results: A total of 146 pregnant women surveyed met the selection criteria. The prevalence of UTI during pregnancy was 42.5 %. The pregnant women suffering from UTI during the pregnancy period show a higher score in the components of vaginal swelling (p=0.036), urination pattern (p=0.001), and urinary incontinence (p=0.011). Conclusion: After adjusting the confounding variables, it was determined that there is no association between the three components of the pelvic floor dysfunction and the UTI since most of the pregnant women followed treatments against UTI to avoid any harm during pregnancy.
