Doctor's answer:
Great! 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. Pyelonephritis is further divided into acute pyelonephritis and chronic pyelonephritis. It is more common in women. It is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene, maintain a light diet, seek medical attention promptly at a formal hospital for targeted treatment, and avoid blindly using medications to prevent adverse effects. Wishing you good health! 13
