Three symptoms of bladder irritation

The three main symptoms of bladder irritation are frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination, which are also the most common symptoms of the urinary tract system. For ordinary people, the average urination is 4 to 6 times a day, and about 0 to 2 times at night. If the urination increases significantly, it can be called frequent urination. There are many reasons for bladder irritation, such as bladder stimulation by inflammation, reduced bladder capacity, or functional disorders.

The causes of bladder irritation symptoms are mainly due to the following aspects:

① Bladder irritation: often inflammatory stimulation, such as pyelonephritis, cystitis, prostatitis, kidney stones with infection and urinary tract tuberculosis. It is most obvious in acute inflammation and active urinary tract tuberculosis. Non-inflammatory stimuli such as stones, foreign bodies, tumors, and pregnancy pressure can also cause bladder irritation symptoms.

② Decreased bladder capacity: such as bladder space-occupying lesions or inflammatory infiltration, sclerosis, and contracture of the bladder wall, which may cause a decrease in bladder capacity, resulting in a decrease in the amount of urine each time and an increase in the frequency of urination, often without urgency or pain.

③ Abnormal regulation of bladder nerve function: Frequent urination can be seen in mental tension and hysteria, and may be accompanied by the urge to urinate, but without pain when urinating.

Symptoms of bladder irritation such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination often bring a lot of pain to patients with urinary tract infection. Some even become restless and have difficulty resting.

Therefore, whether it is symptomatic or caused by pathological factors, it should be treated. A combination of antispasmodics and sedatives may be used to relieve symptoms. Antispasmodics can be atropine 0.3 mg, 3 times a day; or propantheline 1.5 mg, 3 times a day.

You can also use 0.2 mg of Uroling (flavonoid hydrochloride), 3 times a day. Sedatives can be diazepam 2.5 mg, 3 times a day; or fluphenazine 2 mg, 2 to 3 times a day. The above drugs can be used in combination with one of each category. New acupuncture therapy or acupoint injection also has a certain effect on bladder irritation symptoms.

In addition, using 2 to 3 grams of sodium bicarbonate 3 to 4 times a day can alkalize urine, which not only eliminates bladder irritation, but also enhances the antibacterial efficacy of antibiotics such as streptomycin and kanamycin in the urinary tract. However, when using drugs such as tetracyclines and furanidine, alkalinized urine will reduce the efficacy, so the two should not be used together.
