Patient's question:
In the recent period, every time I urinate, there is significant pain at the urethral opening, and after urination, there is still pain in the lower abdomen. After a thorough examination at the hospital, there were three plus proteinuria. Is this caused by a urinary tract infection? Is my condition early-stage nephritis or cystitis?Doctor's answer:
A urinary tract infection can cause recurrent proteinuria and may also be seen in various different kidney diseases. It is recommended that you revisit the hospital's nephrology department for a check-up. Detailed kidney-related tests are necessary, such as renal function tests, color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system, complete blood count, or a kidney biopsy, to determine the specific cause of inflammation. Timely symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is essential to rest and maintain good local hygiene, and avoid drinking beer.
