Doctor's answer:

Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria (rarely by fungi, protozoa, or viruses) directly invading the urinary tract. Urinary tract infections are divided into upper urinary tract infections and lower urinary tract infections. Upper urinary tract infections refer to pyelonephritis, while lower urinary tract infections include urethritis and cystitis. It is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene, maintain a light diet, and seek timely diagnosis and targeted treatment at a formal hospital. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent adverse effects. Wishing you good health.
