what harm does urinary system infection have?
1. It is complicated with a variety of reproductive system diseases, and the harm of urinary system infection is very strong. If it is not treated timely, professionally and effectively, the infection will occur repeatedly, causing vaginitis and other reproductive system diseases. The secretion of the infected part will seriously affect the sperm and egg vitality and reduce the success rate of pregnancy.
2. Cause systemic symptoms. Patients with urinary tract infection sometimes cause chills, chills, fever, general discomfort, headache, fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, urgency of urination, urination pain, low back pain, renal discomfort, upper ureteral tenderness, costal lumbar tenderness, renal percussion pain, bladder tenderness, chronic pyelonephritis, frequent urination, urgency of urination, urination pain, edema, hypertension Urethritis and other diseases.
prevention of urinary system infection
1. Pay attention to water intake. Drink enough water every day to increase micturition and flush bacteria away from the urinary system. It is best to make more than 1500ml of urine every day.
2. Keep good hygiene habits. Wipe from the vaginal mouth to the anus after going to the toilet, that is, wipe from the anus to the back, so as to avoid the transmission of bacteria from the anal mouth to the urethra, and maintain the hygiene of the genitals. Keep good defecation habits.
3. Once you feel like urinating, you should urinate quickly and don’t hold your urine.
4. Both men and women should clean their genitals before sex to avoid bringing bacteria into the body; After sex, the genitals should be cleaned to avoid bacterial residue.
5. Avoid wearing too tight clothes or trousers, which will cause tissue discomfort, produce muggy and increase the chance of bacterial reproduction. Therefore, you should wear more cotton underwear, which will not cause discomfort, and it is more ventilated than nylon.
6. Choose appropriate contraceptive methods. Condoms can be chosen for contraception, which can effectively stop the spread of some bacteria, but they should be removed in time after sex.
7. Pay attention to genital cleaning. Try to avoid showering. It is best to avoid long time bath. Women should avoid using soap, foam or powder in the perineum, so as to avoid the chemical composition that irritates the urethra, causing inflammation or infection.
examination of urinary system infection
if it is necessary to diagnose urinary system infection, it can be diagnosed through the following examination methods:
1, urine bacterial culture
can determine what bacteria caused the infection and the sensitivity of bacteria to drugs, which can be used as the basis for selecting antibiotics during treatment. About 80 to 90 percent of urinary tract infections are caused by E. coli.
2. Routine urine examination
take the middle urine for examination. Normal urine should be sterile. The number of normal white blood cells and red blood cells is less than 5. If the amount of red blood cells is greater than five, it indicates that the patient has hematuria and needs further examination. If the amount of white blood cells is greater than five, it indicates that the urinary tract is inflamed. If there is a urinary cylinder, it indicates that the patient may have renal filariasis or pyelonephritis.
3. Renal nuclear scanning
when renal tissue is acutely inflamed, nuclear scanning can show the degree of functional defect and whether there is renal scarring. It is the most sensitive method to prove local renal inflammation and infection in the early stage.
4. Renal ultrasound
can distinguish the structure of kidney and bladder, so as to diagnose anhydrous kidney, renal pelvic abscess, ureteral edema and structural abnormalities; Because it is not invasive, it is usually routine examination.
5. Excretory cystourethrography
can evaluate the bladder shape and ureteral reflux, and determine the bladder emptying and urethral and bladder obstruction. It is the best tool to check whether there is urinary reflux. It can be used as a basis for further surgical treatment.
the treatment of urinary tract infection
1 and adjuvant treatment
are mainly supplemented by systemic support therapy. Patients with recurrent urinary tract infection usually have low immunity. Therefore, the treatment of improving immunity should be carried out at the same time of drug treatment.
2, antibiotic treatment
antibiotic treatment is the most important treatment for urinary system infection. Using reasonable antibiotics to eliminate bacteria is the most effective method for patients in acute stage, but if it is not handled properly, it will not only affect the treatment effect, but also lead to the impairment of renal function. Therefore, patients must be treated with drugs under the guidance of doctors. For mild infection symptoms, antibiotics are usually recommended for about 4-7 days. In case of recurrent infection, a longer course of treatment (about 1-2 weeks) is required. Patients must take the medicine on time and according to the amount, and do not stop or reduce the medicine due to the remission of symptoms. In this way, it is easy for bacteria to develop drug resistance.
3. Symptomatic treatment
patients with urinary system infection may be complicated with some systemic diseases. Therefore, after selecting appropriate antibiotics, patients can also symptomatically deal with high fever, headache, low back pain and constipation. Generally alkaline drugs, such as sodium bicarbonate and sodium citrate, can effectively reduce the symptoms of urinary tract irritation. For chronic patients with anemia and weakness, small amount of multiple blood transfusion can be considered to correct the symptoms of anemia and improve the patient’s body state.
