What causes urinary tract infections in women

Women are busy with work and neglect their abnormal symptoms. If the symptoms are not treated in time, it will cause various injuries. Urethritis is a common gynecological inflammation that affects women's physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the causes of female urethritis. So what are the causes of female urethritis? The occurrence of female urethritis is mostly related to the following factors.

1. Urethral obstruction: If the hymen at the urethral opening is broken, urine may accumulate in the urethral opening due to difficulty in urination, which may lead to secondary urethral infection.

2. Urethral injury: The abrasion of the urethral mucosa caused by the inspection of the urethral equipment can destroy the defensive function of the urethral mucosa and cause bacterial infection.

3. Other external factors: In high temperatures, the body sweats a lot, and the sebaceous glands of the female vulva are very rich. If not properly cared for, it is easy to make the private parts damp and cold for a long time. At this time, the bacteria will multiply very quickly and take advantage of the opportunity to enter the urethra, causing urethritis.

4. Drinking too little water every day: The urine excreted by the kidneys will have a cleansing effect on the bladder and urethra, and can flush away bacteria. If women only drink less water and do not urinate for a long time, the bacteria accumulated in the urethra and bladder will continue to increase, and urethritis will occur over time.

5. Inflammation of adjacent organs: When women suffer from gynecological inflammations such as cervicitis, vaginitis, etc., if the inflammation spreads to the urethral opening, chronic posterior urethritis, a difficult-to-eliminate disease, will occur.

6. Low immunity: Some women's bodies are relatively weak, and if they have chronic diseases such as diabetes, malnutrition, and some bad habits, urethritis will be more likely to occur.
