Patient's question:
Recently I've noticed frequent urination and urgency, along with left abdominal pain. The doctor said it's a urinary tract infection, so I want to know what are the symptoms of urinary tract infections in women?Doctor's answer:
Women with urinary tract infections may have the following symptoms:1. Chronic pyelonephritis. Severe cases may include back pain and systemic infection symptoms; general discomfort, headache, fatigue; decreased appetite, chills, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, decreased white blood cell count, discomfort in the renal area; costovertebral angle tenderness; renal area percussion tenderness; suprapubic tenderness.
2. Urinary tract infection. The menstrual period is the most susceptible time for women to develop urinary tract infections and external genital infections. To prevent urinary tract infections and external genital infections during the menstrual period, it is important to change sanitary products promptly and keep the perineal area relatively dry. Sanitary products should be clean and avoid using unsanitary products. Women with external genital infections should avoid using internal sanitary products. Avoid spicy and cold foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits.
