Patient's question:
When I was in college, I didn't wash my underwear often. I would pile them up and wash them all at once. How do I treat chronic urinary tract infections?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It's a pleasure to serve you. Based on the situation you described, urinary tract infections primarily manifest as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Chronic urinary tract infections tend to recur repeatedly, so it is recommended to visit a hospital for a urine bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. Treatment should be based on the test results, using sensitive antibiotics. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash with warm water daily, and change underwear every day. Wash the used underwear promptly and separately, and expose them to sunlight. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, drink plenty of plain water, and urinate frequently. Do not hold in urine.
