Does catching a cold cause urinary tract infections?

Patient's question:

Does catching a cold lead to a urinary tract infection? Because it's just the beginning of spring now, and I've been wearing less, I've indeed felt a bit cold during the day. Recently, I suddenly got a urinary tract infection, which causes severe pain during urination, a burning sensation, and the sensation of frequent and incomplete urination. What should I do about this condition?

Doctor's answer:

If you have a urinary tract infection, this is generally mainly caused by bacterial infection. Catching a cold will never affect it. You should pay attention to drinking more hot water, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoid greasy and easily irritating foods. It is recommended to take metronidazole and ciprofloxacin for treatment. You should pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene, changing your underwear frequently, and preventing the spread of infection. Take care of your health.
