Urethritis is Not Just A Bacterial Infection
Date:2022-08-10 click:0
In life, urethritis is a prevalent urinary system disease, and it is not unfounded that women are more prone to the disease than men. The reproductive organs of women and men are very different. Women's urethral openings are not as tightly protected as men's, and women's bodies are fragile during their menstrual period, which allows germs to enter. Because of this, the incidence of urethritis in women is much higher than in men.
Urethritis is an acute urinary tract infection, mainly caused by unclean sexual life or local unsanitary and decreased resistance. This causes bacteria to enter the urethra and bladder retrogradely from the urethra, forming a local bacterial colony accumulation, resulting in frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, hematuria, and even systemic inflammatory responses such as fever and chills. The main pathogenic bacteria are Escherichia coli, Proteus, Streptococcus, and so on.
The clinical infection of urethritis is mainly based on direct spread; that is, the pollution around the urethral mucosa, urethral opening, or vulva causes bacteria to enter the urethra to cause further infection. Escherichia coli is a common urethritis infection bacteria in outpatients, and about 70% of urethritis comes from Escherichia coli. The primary source is the mucosa around the urethra, which infects the urethra when the body is weak, or the urethral mucosa is damaged. In addition, the female urethral opening is relatively close to the vaginal opening and anus, and sometimes contamination may cause urethritis.
Some other things in life may cause urethritis that needs our attention:
1. Bad living habits. Irregular diet and work and rest habits will reduce the body's resistance, leading to urethritis caused by inflammation.
2. Suffering from other reproductive infectious diseases. Suppose the patient has prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, cystitis, and other infectious reproductive diseases. In that case, untimely treatment will spread the inflammation so that the urethra will be infected by other parts of the urethra and cause urethritis.
3. Injury to the urethra. Suppose the patient suffers from other reproductive infectious diseases when the urethral device is used for the inspection. In that case, the regular hospital is not selected for the review, or the inspection equipment is unqualified, which will cause the urethral mucosa to be injured, thereby damaging the normal function of the urethral mucosa. Finally, the urethra becomes infected and causes urethritis.
Once the symptoms of urethritis are found, the patient should be treated in time. In life, take care of the body. When a patient is harmed, it doesn't just affect themselves. Urethritis is not a terminal illness, but it cannot be ignored.
How is urethritis treated?
1. Clinically, antibiotics are often used to treat urethritis. Cephalosporins, macrolides, and quinolone antibiotics are commonly used drugs. However, persistent use of antibiotics often leads to drug resistance for recurrent urethritis, and the treatment effect is not ideal. Patients can take Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, and its diuretic and dredging effect can effectively relieve the patient's urethral irritation and improve symptoms such as dysuria.
2. In addition to oral administration, patients should cooperate with external lotion for local disinfection to promote the recovery of urethritis. At the same time, they can also promote the healing of urethritis by intravenous injection of anti-inflammatory drugs.
3. In treating urethritis, it is necessary to drink more water, promote urine excretion, and eliminate inflammatory secretions, which is beneficial to the treatment of urethritis. Patients should eat more light food, do not eat spicy and irritating food to avoid urethritis. They should also actively exercise to strengthen the body's immunity.
