Urinary tract infection

Urinary tract infection is mainly caused by bacteria, viruses or some parasites, so it is also mainly treated with antibiotics in clinical practice. Urinary tract infection is mainly divided into upper urinary tract and some lower urinary tract infection. The main cause of life is the invasion of volume and at the same time produces some urethral and some empathy.

It must be treated in time in life. It will infect the kidneys and some other types of diseases. Therefore, urinary tract infections in daily life must also be treated and prevented in time. In life, you must keep the vulva clean and pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life.

Urinary tract infections are generally divided into upper urinary tract infections and lower urinary tract infections. According to the route of bacterial invasion, it can be divided into: bloody infection, ascending infection, and descending infection. Most women have ascending infections because the female urethra is straight and short, so bacteria can easily ascend to the bladder and cause infection. In addition, the female urethra is located between the vagina and the urethra.

The mouth and anus are very close, and are easily contaminated by feces and bacteria excreted in the anus. In addition, the ability of elderly women to completely empty their bladder is reduced, so bacteria can easily multiply in the residual urine. The most common clinical disease is lower urinary tract infection, also known as cystitis, which is a common and frequently occurring disease in elderly women. Its incidence rate is 8-10 times higher than that in men, so prevention is very important.

In a healthy person, the urine in the bladder is sterile, that is, there are no bacteria or other infectious microorganisms present. The tube that discharges urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, namely the urethra, does not contain any infectious pathogens or only has very few pathogens and will not cause infection. However, any part of the urinary tract can become infected, and these infections are usually classified as lower or upper urinary tract infections. A lower UTI is an infection of the bladder or urethra; an upper UTI is an infection of the kidneys or ureters.

The above are the common factors of urethral infection. Urinary tract infections in daily life must be treated and prevented in time. You must keep the vulva clean in your life and pay attention to the hygiene of your sexual life to prevent invading bacteria and cure the disease. Bathing and some drug therapies are also very important. You should pay attention to eating light food and not spicy and irritating food.
