Patient's question:
I am a business trainer, and due to training requirements, I often have to work long hours. Sometimes, to communicate with clients, I have to accompany them for dinner and beer. Once or twice is not a big deal, but long-term exposure to this environment has caused certain health issues. I always feel particularly exhausted. The long hours of work pressure have led to a urinary system disorder. Last month, I frequently experienced frequent urination, redness, and inflammation in my urethra, sometimes even difficulty urinating with severe pain. After a thorough medical examination at the hospital, it was discovered. For such urinary tract infections, what kind of medication should be taken for treatment? What medicine should be taken for urinary tract infections?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria (rarely by fungi, protozoa, or viruses) directly attacking 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.
