Patient's question:
What diseases can be caused by frequent urination? After menstruation, frequent urination often leads to frequent visits to the toilet. After urinating, there is still a feeling of needing to go to the toilet, and there may also be some abdominal pain. After visiting the hospital, taking medication for frequent urination hasn't helped. Why is this? Is there a serious problem?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria (rarely by fungi, protozoa, or viruses) directly invading the urinary tract. Urinary tract infections are divided into upper urinary tract infections and lower urinary tract infections. Upper urinary tract infections refer to pyelonephritis, while lower urinary tract infections include urethritis and cystitis. Pyelonephritis is further divided into acute pyelonephritis and chronic pyelonephritis. It is more common in women. It is recommended that you get a urinalysis done at the hospital and also have a gynecological examination to check if there is any vaginal infection. There are several treatment methods for male diseases, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the treatment methods also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms appear.
