Why does it hurt when girls urinate?

If women experience pain when urinating, they need to consider that it is mostly caused by urinary tract infection. It is best to go to a regular professional hospital to find out the cause and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Do not use medication blindly. During the treatment, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the local area clean, and eat a light diet. It is best not to have sex before the disease is cured, otherwise it is easy to cause recurrence of the disease.

Urinary tract infection is generally caused by microbial infection and leads to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain, and discomfort during urination. There are many clinical symptoms of urinary tract infection. According to the different areas of onset, it can be divided into pyelonephritis, cystitis and urethritis. According to the different nature of inflammation, it can be divided into acute urinary tract infection and chronic urinary tract infection. According to the presence or absence of organic lesions, it can be divided into complicated and uncomplicated urinary tract infection. In short, there are many classifications of urinary tract infections, but in general, no matter what type of urinary tract infection it is, the following symptoms will appear:

1. Doctors will ask patients with urinary tract infection to do a routine blood test, and patients with urinary tract infection will show symptoms of increased white blood cell count.

2. In order to confirm the diagnosis, doctors will ask patients suspected of urinary tract infection to do a routine urine test. Patients with urinary tract infection will have white blood cells, red blood cells and proteinuria in the urine routine test.

3. Patients with upper urinary tract infection, especially those with acute urinary tract infection and those with urinary tract obstruction will experience symptoms of headache, chills, and fever. These symptoms of systemic toxicity are generally more easily misdiagnosed as colds.

4. Patients in the acute phase often have obvious urinary tract irritation reactions, such as frequent urination, urgency, pain and discomfort during urination, but this symptom is not very obvious in the chronic phase and in elderly children, and is often only mild.

Symptoms of urinary tract infection in women

First of all, during pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will compress the bladder and ureters, causing the urine flow to slow down or form a mild effusion, which will facilitate bacterial invasion and reproduction and cause disease. The vaginal discharge of female urinary tract infection symptoms is alkaline and lacks anti-inflammatory factors, so it is difficult to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, causing urinary tract infection.

Secondly, the reason why symptoms of urinary tract infection in women tend to trouble them in summer is related to their physiological and anatomical structure. Because women's urethra is naturally shorter, the urethral opening is near the perineum and anus. Bacteria can easily invade the urethra. In addition, the temperature is high in summer, the human body sweats a lot, and the sweat glands in the female vulva are particularly abundant.

Then, menstruation and sexual activity can also easily cause symptoms of UTI in women. Menstrual blood is the best culture medium for bacteria, which leads to bacterial proliferation in the female perineum. Sexual intercourse can push bacteria from the anterior urethra into the posterior urethra and bladder through mechanical pushing action. There are many chronic gynecological diseases (such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic and adnexitis, etc.), whose secretions can contaminate the urethra and cause urinary tract infection.
