Acute Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms

Acute urinary tract infection is an acute disease. No matter what type of disease it is, it has unique symptoms. Only by clearly understanding the symptoms of the disease can we better study treatment methods. Different symptoms are also designed to help us identify what type of disease we have. Understanding the cause of the disease is also key, as the cause is the condition that determines preventive measures. Treatment still requires understanding the cause of the disease.

Many diseases are divided into two types: acute and chronic. As the name suggests, the acute condition is relatively serious, so once abnormal symptoms appear, they need to be discovered in time so that corresponding treatment can be carried out more quickly. Only treatment can lead to recovery. So what are the symptoms of acute urinary tract infection?

1. Acute simple cystitis

The onset is sudden, and the onset in female patients is often related to sexual activity. The main manifestations are bladder irritation signs, namely frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, discomfort in the bladder area or perineum, and a burning sensation in the urethra; the degree of urinary frequency varies, and in severe cases, urge urinary incontinence may occur; the urine is turbid, there are white blood cells in the urine, terminal hematuria is common, and sometimes it is full-time hematuria, and even blood clots are discharged. Generally there are no obvious systemic infection symptoms, and the body temperature is normal or there is a low fever.

2. Acute simple pyelonephritis

(1) Urinary system symptoms include bladder irritation signs such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination; hematuria; low back pain on the affected side or both sides; obvious tenderness or percussion pain at the costovertebral angle on the affected side;

(2) Symptoms of systemic infection such as chills, high fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. are often accompanied by increased white blood cell count and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

3. Asymptomatic bacteriuria

Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a hidden urinary tract infection, which is more common in elderly women and pregnant women. Patients do not have any symptoms of urinary tract infection, and the incidence rate increases with age.

4. Complicated urinary tract infection

The clinical manifestations of complicated urinary tract infection vary greatly, and are often accompanied by other diseases that increase the risk of infection or treatment failure, with or without clinical symptoms (such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, dysuria, low back pain, costovertia angle tenderness, suprapubic pain and fever, etc.). Complicated urinary tract infections are often accompanied by other diseases, such as diabetes and renal failure; they also cause many sequelae, the most serious and fatal of which include urosepsis and renal failure. Renal failure can be divided into acute and chronic, reversible and irreversible.

The above introduces the symptoms of acute urinary tract infection. Only by clearly understanding the symptoms of the disease can we develop a corresponding treatment plan. In addition, for any disease, it is necessary to understand the causes of the disease, because the cause is the condition for developing preventive measures and is also the first step in treatment, so understanding the properties of the disease is very critical.
