Urinary tract infection is a very common urinary tract infection . The cause is caused by infection with a series of pathogenic microorganisms . Once suffering from a urinary tract infection, patients will experience urinary abnormalities such as painful urination and urgent urination in daily life, and are very likely to be accompanied by hematuria, low back pain, and fever.
If it is not treated early, it may even cause nephritis and perirenal abscess, which is very harmful to health. Therefore, after suffering from urinary tract infection, patients will receive timely treatment. However, many people experience recurring disease after treatment. What is going on?
What are the reasons for recurring urinary tract infections?
1. Incorrect Personal Hygiene Habits
One of the causes of recurring urinary tract infections, whether in men or women, is related to Incorrect Personal Hygiene Habits. For example, many patients do not actively clean their reproductive parts every day after getting sick. In this way, a large number of bacteria will be produced in the reproductive parts.
and 95% urinary tract infection is caused by bacterial infection. There are also some female patients who will clean the vulva and vagina multiple times a day, or directly flush the inside of the vagina.
This excessive cleaning habit will unbalance the flora in the vagina , and it is easy to be infected with some bacteria and induce vaginitis. Bacteria can also enter the urethra orifice, causing urethritis.
2. Frequent sexual intercourse
For patients with urinary tract infection, sexual intercourse must be controlled during treatment and recovery, or do not engage in sexual intercourse . Otherwise, some secretions will irritate the to urethral opening parts, causing recurrence of the condition.
Moreover, many patients do a good job of cleaning the genital area during sexual intercourse, or even have chaotic sexual intercourse, which can lead to infection with various bacteria, making urinary tract infections reoccur and difficult to heal.
Drinking less water and holding urine excessively
Drinking water can play a role in urination. Urinating once every two hours can flush the urethra and bladder and prevent some bacteria from overproliferating in the urethra. However, if the patient does not actively drink water, or the patient holds back his urine, a large number of bacteria will not be washed away, resulting in an aggravation of the condition or recurrence of the condition.
IV. Wrong treatment methods
Another reason for the recurrence of urinary tract infections is related to not choosing the right drug . For example, many patients will go directly to pharmacies to buy some antibiotics after getting sick.
Once the medicine is not suitable for , it will not have the therapeutic effect, and drug resistance will also form, leading to recurring urinary tract infections. So after suffering from a urinary tract infection, choosing the right drug treatment is very important.
How should drugs be used to treat urinary tract infection?
1. Choose antibacterial drugs for treatment
Generally speaking, for patients with urinary tract infections, some short-range antibiotics drugs should be used for treatment. For example, second-generation cephalosporins such as cefaclor and cefnicillin can also be chosen nitrofurantoin or fosfomycin .
2. Medication for Symptom Treatment
Due to different physical constitutions, some symptoms displayed by patients after getting sick are also different. Therefore, in the selection of other drugs, appropriate drug treatment should be based on the symptoms displayed by the patient.
If symptoms of nephritis appear, then drugs for treating nephritis should be used appropriately. And if there is a fever or an increase in white blood cells , you can take some antibacterial drugs after the fever is reduced as appropriate.
In short, the causes of recurrent urinary tract infections are related to the above four factors. Therefore, patients with urinary tract infections must take care of all aspects of their lives, and they can refer to the above two points for medication.
In addition, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions and take it regularly and quantitatively. Do not reduce or stop the medication immediately after the condition is slightly relieved, otherwise, it will also lead to recurring urinary tract infections.
