Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my colleague kept telling me that she had carefully checked and found that the urinary tract infection was particularly painful. I was wondering how exactly this thing was transmitted, and what kind of medicine would be better to take. Because she had been asking me what to do all along, I thought I would help her ask first, and then take some preventive measures myself.Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections are generally caused by bacterial infections in the urinary tract. Most of them are caused by E. coli. The urethra in women is shorter, and they are more prone to recurrence under conditions such as weakened immunity, unclean sexual activity, and iatrogenic transmission. For milder symptoms, drinking more warm water and getting more rest can help alleviate the symptoms. However, for more severe symptoms, such as urinary urgency, frequency, and hematuria, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
