What to do if you have urinary tract pain in women

Urinary tract infection is a common disease among women in summer. If you experience frequent, urgent, and painful urination on a certain day in the summer, sometimes accompanied by back pain and lower abdominal distension, then you are most likely suffering from a urinary tract infection. So, how do we prevent such diseases, and how do we treat patients suffering from such diseases? Let me tell you about it.

The reason why urinary tract infections tend to trouble women 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 female vulva has particularly abundant sweat glands. If the underwear you wear is not made of the right fabric, it will easily keep the vulva moist for a long time. At this time, bacteria will multiply very quickly and take advantage of the opportunity to enter the urethra, causing urethritis.

In fact, urethritis is completely preventable. The most important thing is to drink plenty of water. In summer, more water evaporates through the skin. Even if you stay in an air-conditioned room, you should not wait until you feel thirsty to drink water. You should replenish water in time after sweating a lot during exercise to avoid having less and more concentrated urine due to lack of water, which will make it impossible to excrete bacteria and other harmful substances from the body in time.

To avoid reducing the body's resistance to disease due to excessive fatigue, you should ensure adequate sleep no matter how busy you are; underwear should preferably be made of pure cotton and should not be too small or too tight. For example, it is best not to wear the thongs sold on the market now.

People with urinary tract infections should pay attention when taking medication: Do not stop taking the medication once the symptoms disappear, otherwise it is easy to relapse. Patients who delay treatment for a long time are likely to have the inflammation spread upward and cause inflammation of the bladder, ureters and even kidneys.

Women who drank at least one glass of unsweetened fresh juice or juice from concentrate each day were 34 percent less likely to have a urinary tract infection than those who rarely drank juice. If you drink a glass of wine immediately after sex, the effect will be more significant.

So how can women avoid urinary tract infections? Drinking yogurt after sex and consuming dairy products containing lactic acid bacteria at least three times a week can also help women avoid urinary tract infections. Some particularly sour juices, especially those made from berries, are very effective in preventing frequent recurrences of urinary tract infections in women.

In addition, the editor kindly reminds you to pay attention to personal hygiene, take frequent baths, change underwear frequently, and wipe from front to back with toilet paper after defecation. Urinating after sex helps flush away bacteria from the urethra. If you frequently have urinary tract infections and you take good care of your personal hygiene, you should go to the hospital to check if there are other causes.
