What causes dripping urine after urination?

After a urinary tract infection occurs, people usually feel the urgency and pain when urinating, but why do some people experience dripping urine after urinating? If this situation is also accompanied by the urge to urinate, you should pay attention to the possibility of a urinary tract infection, but if there is no pain, this is a normal physiological phenomenon. After the infection occurs, timely treatment is required. Generally, Western medicine is chosen to reduce inflammation, but it is also necessary to take it according to the course of treatment.

How many drops of urine does a woman have after she urinates?

If a woman has a few drops of urine left after urinating, it may be due to a urinary tract infection, which often causes cystitis. The main manifestations of cystitis in adult women are urinary tract irritation, i.e. frequent urination, urgency, pain, leukocyturia, and occasionally hematuria, even visible hematuria, and discomfort in the bladder area. Generally there are no obvious systemic infection symptoms, but a few patients may have low back pain and low fever.

How to treat urinary tract infection in women

1. Urinary tract infection is a common and frequent infectious disease in clinical practice. It is stubborn and protracted, with a long treatment time and high recurrence rate. Its main manifestations are frequent urination, urgency, pain, hematuria, pyuria, and low back and abdominal pain.

2. Western medicine’s first choice for treating female urinary tract infections is antibiotics, such as ampicillin, cefadroxil, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, etc.

3. Although Western medicine is effective quickly for female urinary tract infection, chemical drugs can have toxic side effects on the human body, can easily damage the gastrointestinal mucosa in the long term, and are more likely to develop drug resistance, so long-term use is not recommended.

4. It is recommended to drink more warm water and eat more vegetables and fruits. You can go to the urology department to do a routine urine test and B-ultrasound examination. According to the examination results, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs can be given in time.

5. The most common cause of urinary tract infection in women is menstruation. Menstrual blood is the best breeding ground for bacteria. Menstrual hygiene, especially the cleaning and disinfection of menstrual products, is an important part of reducing bacterial invasion.

6. During sexual intercourse, women push bacteria from the anterior urethra into the posterior urethra and bladder through mechanical pushing action, which can also cause urinary tract infection. The principle of treatment is to control symptoms, eliminate pathogens, remove inducing factors and prevent recurrence. Not smoking can reduce irritation, drinking more water can make urination smooth, and maintaining hygiene can wash away germs.

Women should pay special attention to personal hygiene in daily life, and their diet should not be too spicy. Especially women who have had sex should pay more attention to the hygiene of their lower body. It is best to shower immediately after each sexual intercourse, instead of taking a bath in a tub, as shower is the only way to wash clean. Because of the special position of the female vulva, it is easy to get a urinary tract infection if you do not pay attention to hygiene. If you have a urinary tract infection, you must go to the hospital for a thorough examination and take the appropriate medicine.
