Why do I have pain on the right side of my lower abdomen when I urinate?

Many patients will experience various symptoms when urinating. Among them, some people will experience pain in the right lower abdomen when urinating. Later, during the diagnosis and treatment process, it was discovered that they had a urinary tract infection. Generally speaking, when a urinary tract infection occurs, the above symptoms are very likely to occur. So what can cause urinary tract infections? Now I will tell you and also tell you the treatment principles.

Urinary tract infection refers to inflammation caused by pathogens growing and multiplying in the urinary tract and invading the urinary tract mucosa or tissue. It is the most common type of bacterial infection and is divided into upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection. Upper urinary tract infection refers to pyelonephritis, and lower urinary tract infection includes urethritis and cystitis.

1. Cystitis: The main manifestation is urinary tract irritation, i.e. frequent urination, urgency, pain, leukocytosis, occasional hematuria, even macroscopic hematuria, and a few patients may have lower abdominal pain;

2. Acute pyelonephritis: Main manifestations: ① Urinary system symptoms: including bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, back pain and/or lower abdominal pain; ② Symptoms of systemic infection: such as chills, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc.;

3. Chronic pyelonephritis: Clinical manifestations: ① Urinary tract infection manifestations. ②Manifestations of chronic interstitial nephritis, such as hypertension, polyuria, and increased nocturia. ③Related manifestations of chronic kidney disease.

In fact, the treatment of urinary tract infection should be based on certain important clinical pharmacology principles and the rational use of antibiotics. The purpose is to prevent or treat systemic sepsis, alleviate symptoms, eliminate isolated foci of infection, eliminate urinary tract pathogens from the intestinal and vaginal flora, and minimize the possibility of the development of resistant flora.

Only when we fully understand the occurrence and clinical symptoms of the disease can we better prevent and treat it. Therefore, when the above symptoms occur, we should suspect whether the patient has a urinary tract infection, and then further diagnose the patient by combining routine urine examination, urine bacterial culture and other methods. Finally, prophylactic antibiotics may be used to prevent recurrence.
