Can women use salt water to wash their urinary tract?

Urinary tract infection is a disease that women are very prone to. There are many reasons for this disease. It may be caused by not paying enough attention to the hygiene of private parts, or it may be transmitted by sexual partners during sexual intercourse. Many people may have this idea that salt water can be used for disinfection, so can female urinary tract infections be washed with salt water? Let me introduce it below.

It is contraindicated to wash with salt water for female urethritis. It is not necessary. Washing cannot solve the symptoms and bacterial residues of urethritis, and salt water can irritate the urethra or other skin and vaginal mucosa, so it is not necessary.

Patients should first drink more water, urinate frequently, exercise more, and clean the perineum with warm water. If the patient has typical urinary tract irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, and two or three positive white blood cell tests in urine routine examination, oral antibiotic treatment is required. The preferred antibiotics are quinolones, levofloxacin, clotrimazole, or cephalosporin antibiotics, cefuroxime and cefdinir, which can be taken after one week. If the urine routine test is normal, the patient is cured.
