Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing quite a few minor health issues, such as frequent urination and urgency, as well as lower back pain and discomfort. What could be causing this?My menstrual cycle hasn't been regular for quite some time, and in 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, but I'm also experiencing lower back pain. What exactly is going on?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is preliminarily considered that you may have a urinary tract infection. Women's urethras are close to the vagina and anus, making them more prone to industrial pollution from menstrual blood or anal secretions. As a result, various pathogenic microorganisms can enter the urethra, grow, and adapt in the urinary tract, leading to a urinary tract infection. Other factors such as sexual activity, urinary tract obstruction, iatrogenic procedures, and reproductive system infections can also cause retrograde infections to occur.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 essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
