The dangers of frequent urinary tract infections

There are many reasons for recurrent urinary tract infections in women, such as bad living habits, bad sexual habits, and poor menstrual health care, which can all cause recurrent urinary tract infections in women. Recurrent urinary tract infections are really harmful to women's health. The following mainly introduces to everyone what are the harms of recurrent urinary tract infections in women?

1. Characteristics of female urinary system. The reason for repeated urinary tract infections in women is determined by the female urinary system. Compared with men, the female urinary system is special. The urethral opening of the female urinary system is short, wide, and loose, which makes it easier for bacteria to invade. Once infected, it is easy to cause infection, which will naturally cause repeated urinary tract infections in women.

2. Pathogens can easily invade. The female urethral opening and the anus opening in the vagina are adjacent to each other. There are a lot of bacteria accumulated around the anus opening and vagina. These bacteria can easily invade the female urethral opening. Female secretions are good culture medium, which is conducive to the reproduction of bacteria, resulting in the recurrence of female urethral infections. It is recommended that women clean their vagina frequently to minimize the number of bacteria. Reduce the chance of urinary tract infection.

3. Menstruation and sexual activity. Menstrual blood is the best culture medium for bacteria. If women do not pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, the problem that will occur is bacterial invasion. If the bacteria multiply in large numbers, it will cause urinary tract infection. In addition, women should also pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of menstrual utensils, so as to reduce the key steps of bacterial invasion. In addition, sexual activity can also cause urinary tract infection. It is recommended that women abstain from sex appropriately during the period of urinary tract infection. In addition, they should pay attention to drinking water before sexual intercourse, as well as urinating during sex.

In addition, the bad habit of holding urine can also cause women to have repeated urinary tract infections, because women who hold urine for a long time will cause urine to stay in the bladder for a long time. At this time, the most likely problem is bacterial invasion. In addition, when women hold urine, their bladder is full and the pressure increases. If bacteria invade, they will be transported to upstream and downstream parts, and the harm will be very great.
