Do I have a urinary tract infection?

Patient's question:

Gestational trophoblastic disease was conservatively treated for half a month and returned to normal values. I have been resting at home for more than twenty days. The day before yesterday, after sexual intercourse, I felt a little pain. This afternoon, I always felt the need to urinate, and urination was a bit itchy. By the evening, it felt better. Should I take any medicine or go to the hospital for a check-up?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is considered to be a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria (in very rare cases, fungi, protozoa, or viruses) directly invading the urinary tract. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia. Urinary tract infections often have certain triggers, so it is necessary to carefully examine the patient for conditions such as urinary tract stones, kidney or ureteral abnormalities, etc. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
