Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing quite a few minor health issues. Frequent urination and urgency, lower back pain and discomfort. What could be causing this? My period hasn't come for a long time, but over the past few days, I've tried having sex with my husband every two or three days. I don't know what might be causing this, whether it's a bacterial infection. But my lower back is also aching. What on earth is going on?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is preliminarily considered that you may have a urinary tract infection. In women, the urethra is close to the vagina and anus, making it easier to be contaminated by menstrual blood or anal secretions, allowing various pathogenic microorganisms to enter the urethra, grow, and adapt, thereby causing urinary tract infections. Other factors such as sexual activity, urinary tract obstruction, iatrogenic procedures, and reproductive system infections can also lead to retrograde infections.Facing the harm of male diseases, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If male diseases do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
