Patient's question:
In the past two months, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency every time I urinate. The amount of urine is very little each time, and the urine is yellow and split. The urethral opening is very painful. Usually, my legs feel damp, and there is some white discharge that is sticky and has a strong odor. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a urinary tract infection. What kind of help do I need: How does a urinary tract infection occur?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) generally refer to the invasion of various pathogens affecting the external genitalia, internal genitalia, urethra, and accessory glands, leading to inflammation and functional damage in these organs. Perinatal urinary tract infections include urethritis, mycoplasma infection, sexually transmitted diseases, and other conditions. Common pathogens causing perinatal UTIs include over 20 types such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, spirochetes, fungi, etc. Some patients may be infected with multiple different pathogens simultaneously. While Western medicine can provide quick relief, chemical drugs can still produce toxic side effects on the human body. Long-term use may damage the gastrointestinal mucosa and increase the risk of drug resistance, so it is not recommended for prolonged consumption.
