Patient's question:
What are the reasons that cause women to have urinary tract infections? About the past treatment and its effectiveness: Are you currently being treated? Please ask the expert for clarificationDoctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria (rarely by fungi, protozoa, or viruses) directly invading the urinary system. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia. Urinary tract infections often have certain triggers, so it is necessary to carefully examine the patient for conditions such as urinary tract stones, kidney or ureteral abnormalities. In addition to medication, drinking plenty of water and maintaining a daily urine output of over 2000ml can help flush the urinary tract, which is also very important for the treatment of urinary tract infections. Additionally, gonococcal urethritis is also very common. If present, it should be treated as gonorrhea first.
