Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a complex disease caused by bacteria, which can seriously harm the patient's physical and mental health. Most often, this condition results from patients not understanding the disease or failing to seek timely treatment. Once symptoms of UTI appear, it is crucial to promptly seek medical attention.
Urinary tract infections are currently a major health concern affecting thousands of patients annually. Although the severity of different types of urinary tract infections varies, all require a long treatment process.
So, how to treat urinary system infection is the most concerned question for patients.
The following is a recommended method for patients suffering from urinary tract infections to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine: 1. Strengthen physical exercise, enhance immunity, eliminate predisposing factors, maintain a rich diet with a variety of nutrients, and drink plenty of water.
2. Single-sided prescription: 1) Tiexinlian and Qianjincao, each 30g, decocted in water for oral administration.
2) White Scutellaria, Honeysuckle, and Wild Chrysanthemum each 30g, and Acorus gramineus 15g. Decoct in water for tea consumption.
3. Acupuncture Therapy: For patients with deficiency in both spleen and kidney, acupoints such as Spleen Shu (Shu 36), Kidney Shu (KI 3), Zusanli (ST36), Zhongji (CV12), Guanyuan (CV4), and Mingmen (BL23) may be selected for needling or moxibustion therapy.
For those with damp-heat downward flow, the acupuncture points to be selected include Shenshu (BL23), Biliary Collaterals (BL25), Mingmen (CV17), Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Yinlingquan (SP9). The needles should be used for purging.
4. It can be used in conjunction with Western medicine, including Fluconazole, Compound Neomycin, and Gentamicin for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory purposes.
The causes of urinary tract infections and symptoms, urinary tract infections are relatively common sexually transmitted diseases.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) can cause significant harm to a person's health and significantly affect their daily life. Only by understanding the causes and symptoms of UTI can we detect and treat it in time.
What are the causes of urinary tract infections? What symptoms do they present? The pathways by which urinary tract infections occur are numerous. The reasons for urinary tract infections in women are as follows: 1. In females, there is a shorter urethra, making bacteria ascend more easily than in males.
2. The presence of Escherichia coli in the female urethral opening is considered a significant risk factor for sexually transmitted infections.
3. Pregnancy is an important trigger for urinary tract infections.
2. Uropathies or functional defects can lead to vesicoureteral reflux, a pathological condition where urine flows from the bladder back into the renal pelvis during urination, and this is prone to causing urinary tract infections.
3. Urinary tract obstruction is an important cause of ascending urinary tract infections, which are prone to occur due to the obstruction.
Due to reasons such as calculi, tumors, and strictures, urinary flow is impaired, bacteria are not easily expelled from the bladder, leading to a large accumulation of bacteria and an increased risk of infection.
4. The abuse of non-narcotic analgesics can cause necrosis of the renal papillae, making the affected kidney tissue more susceptible to infection. This may be due to impaired defense mechanisms.
5. During urological instrument examination in the bladder, insertion of a catheter or cystoscope may lead to upper urinary tract infection.
After the continuous retention of catheter urine for 10 days, there is inevitably an infection of the urinary tract.
6. The likelihood of diabetic patients developing urinary tract infections is higher.
For diabetic patients, it is advisable to avoid the use of urological instruments.
7. Prostate diseases, the proportion of urinary tract infections in middle-aged and elderly male increased mainly due to bacterial prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia.
8. Other factors, such as: ① Decreased resistance in the human body, which is prone to urinary system infections.
2. Gynecological inflammation, balanitis, and prostatitis are the most common causes of urinary tract infections.
Patients with chronic kidney disease are prone to infections.
4. Due to reduced renal blood flow caused by hypertension and vascular diseases, it is more susceptible to infections.
5. Kidney damage caused by hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, and the abuse of analgesics can also lead to urinary tract infections.
Common symptoms of urinary tract infections include: 1. Painful burning sensation during urination, frequent urination, abdominal pain, urgency or difficulty in urination, and other discomforts. Urinary tract infections can lead to abnormal changes in the urine, often presenting as bacterial urine, pyuria, hematuria, and pneumaturia.
2. Urinary tract infections often manifest abnormalities in urination, including frequent urination, urgency to urinate, painful urination, and may also present with incontinence and urinary retention.
Chronic pyelonephritis may lead to chronic renal failure in the early stages characterized by polyuria, and later may present with either polyuria or anuria.
3. Feelings of pain in the kidneys and surrounding areas are often a result of urinary tract infections.
Pain in the lower back is elicited by stimulation or increased tension of the renal capsule, renal pelvis, and ureter. Urinary tract infections usually do not cause back pain.
Inflammation of the kidney and its periphery, such as pyelonephrosis, pyelitis, perirenal abscess, and acute pyelonephritis, often causes continuous and severe pain in the lower back. The pain caused by chronic pyelonephritis is usually a dull ache.
4. Regularly, you might notice abnormalities in your urine, such as bacterial urine, purulent urine, hematuria, and dysuria.
The harm of urinary tract infections, nowadays many people develop bad habits such as holding their urine and even some people are reluctant to drink water in order to avoid the trouble of going to the bathroom. This undoubtedly increases the risk of urinary tract infections.
Urinary tract infection is one of the major killers for human health.
What are the potential hazards of urinary tract infections? The hazards of urinary tract infections include: 1. Abnormal urination.
Common urinary system infections include frequent urination, urgency to urinate, painful urination, as well as urinary incontinence and hydronephrosis.
Chronic pyelonephritis may cause chronic renal failure in the early stages with polyuria and in the later stages with oliguria or anuria.
2. Urine abnormalities.
Urinary tract infections can cause abnormal changes in urine, including bacterial urine, pyuria, hematuria and cystitis.
3. Back pain.
Back pain is a common clinical symptom, and diseases of the kidneys and surrounding structures are among the common causes.
The renal capsule, pelvis, and ureter can all be irritated or subjected to increased tension, leading to pain in the lower back. However, lower urinary tract infections generally do not cause back pain.
Inflammation of the kidney and its surroundings, such as pyelonephritis, perirenal inflammation, perinephric abscess, and acute pyelonephritis, often causes continuous severe pain in the lower back. Pain associated with chronic pyelonephritis is typically a dull ache.
4. Infertility.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common diseases in male reproductive health, and they can lead to infertility. The primary cause is inflammation that results in urethral stricture and obstruction at the urethral opening. If it involves the seminal vesicles, epididymis, or prostate, fibrous tissue proliferation, deformation, and scarring can occur, resulting in blockage of the ejaculatory ducts. In addition, complications with inflammation of the epididymis, seminal vesicles, prostate, and other structures can affect semen quality, causing a decrease in sperm viability and motility.
How to prevent urinary tract infection? The harm of urinary tract infection is very great. It not only affects the daily life and work, but also can lead to infertility. Therefore, we should take active measures to treat it.
How should one prevent urinary tract infections? Prevention of urinary tract infections involves the following points: 1. Pay attention to hygiene, especially for girls who need to use warm water to rinse their vulvas every night to prevent infection.
After the baby defecates, they should be thoroughly washed with clean water to remove any fecal matter from the genital area and buttocks.
2. Regularly change diapers and underwear, try not to wear open-bottomed pants.
3. Don't let your baby crawl and sit on the floor.
4. Pay attention to dietary nutrition, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance resistance to diseases.
