Women always feel the urge to urinate before going to bed

The average normal female urinates 4-6 times a day. Some women often feel the urge to urinate, and they always feel frequent and urgent urination without drinking plenty of water; some women always feel the urge to urinate before going to bed at night, and even feel pain when urinating. These people are likely to suffer from urethritis. Urethritis is curable and patients don't need to worry. If you develop urethritis, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, otherwise it can easily develop into cystitis or even nephritis.

1. Causes of urethritis

The main cause of urethritis is the abnormal reproduction of normal bacteria in the urethra or the growth of extraurethral bacteria in the urethra, leading to urethral infection. Although the direct cause of urethritis is relatively simple, many factors are the inducement of urethritis: reduced local resistance, urethral injury, foreign bodies, obstruction, unclean sexual intercourse and poor personal hygiene, decreased estrogen levels, etc.

2. The harm of urethritis

1. Influence of complications: If the disease recurs and long-term inflammatory damage occurs, the urinary tract mucosa, renal pelvis and calyces will be damaged, fibrotic, and deformed. Urinary tract obstruction and deformity will affect normal urine drainage and treatment, which will affect the treatment of urethritis, making traditional drug treatment ineffective and more difficult to treat.

2. Leading to chronic renal failure: The biggest feature of urethritis infection is that it can easily turn into a chronic infection, and in severe cases it can cause chronic renal failure. According to statistics on the hazards and treatments of male urethritis, 25% of chronic renal failure is caused by urethritis.

3. Treatment of urethritis

The treatment of urethritis depends on the cause of the infection. Acute urethritis is often treated with a combination of antibiotics and chemical drugs. In recent years, norfloxacin has been used in combination with sulfonamides, with satisfactory clinical results. Systemic treatment should include rest and adequate fluid intake. During the acute phase, sexual intercourse should be avoided in the short term, otherwise it will prolong the course of the disease; in addition, during the acute phase, you should drink more water to increase urine volume and flush the urethra. If you experience frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, you can take antispasmodics and eliminate the various causes of urethritis.

Urethritis caused by sexually transmitted diseases should be treated at the same time as your spouse, otherwise it will be difficult to cure. During the chronic stage, if the external urethral orifice or the urethra is stricture, urethral dilation should be performed. For herpes simplex virus infection, antiviral drugs are used. If the patient has urinary tract irritation symptoms and conventional antimicrobial treatment is ineffective, and there are no complicating factors, mycoplasma, chlamydia or viral infection should be considered, and tetracycline can be used as the first treatment. If there is resistance to tetracycline, erythromycin, methyl erythromycin or roxithromycin can be used instead.
