Fungal urethritis in women

In our lives, many women suffer from urethritis. Most of the time, female friends suffer from urethritis because of holding urine, and vaginitis is also particularly prone to urethral infection. When women have gynecological diseases, they must be treated in time. If gynecological diseases cause urinary system diseases, then the treatment is more difficult. So how should women with fungal urethritis be treated?

Why do women get urethritis?

1. Holding urine: This is a common bad habit among women. Because urine stays in the bladder for a long time, a small amount of bacteria invades, giving them more time to multiply and invade tissues, causing urethritis.

2. Menstruation and sexual activity: Menstrual blood is a good culture medium for bacteria. Menstrual hygiene, especially the cleaning and disinfection of menstrual products, is an important part of reducing bacterial invasion. Sexual intercourse can push bacteria from the anterior urethra into the posterior urethra and bladder through mechanical pushing action, thus causing urethritis.

3. The female urethral opening is close to the vagina and anus: There are a large number of bacteria around the vagina and anus. Vaginal secretions are also a good culture medium, which makes it easier for bacteria to reproduce and cause urethritis.

4. The particularity of the structure of the female urinary and reproductive system: The female urethra is shorter and wider than the male urethra, making it easier for bacteria to enter and cause urethritis.

5. Pregnancy:

During pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will press against the bladder and ureters. Endocrine changes also cause the ureteral dilation and peristalsis to slow down, causing a slow urine flow or the formation of a mild effusion. This situation also facilitates bacterial invasion and reproduction, leading to urethritis.

Recently, many women have consulted me about frequent urination and urgency, and occasional pain when urinating. They did not take it seriously at first, but the condition has not disappeared recently. Instead, it has worsened and they have experienced vaginal itching. After searching online, they were told that these are symptoms of urethritis, which makes these female friends nervous. Is frequent urination and urgency in women caused by urethritis?

In the early stages of urethritis, symptoms often include frequent urination and urgency. As the disease progresses and worsens, urinary pain also occurs. In severe cases, lower abdominal pain and hematuria may occur, accompanied by symptoms such as low back pain and fever. You will also find that the abnormal secretions from the private parts have increased significantly and are thin, homogeneous or thin, pasty, grayish white, grayish yellow or milky yellow with a special fishy odor. If you feel unwell, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination in time to find out the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment.

What are the possible causes of urethritis?

Failure to take precautions during special periods may lead to the invasion of diseases. Women's menstrual period, pregnancy period and menopause are the peak periods for urethritis. For example, during menopause, women's resistance and antibacterial ability decrease, and the chance of women suffering from urethritis increases. Experts would like to remind female friends that menopause is a high-incidence period for various gynecological diseases in women, so they should pay special attention to prevention and insist on regular gynecological examinations to avoid opening the door to disease.

Decreased resistance. Excessive stress leads to decreased resistance, lack of attention to hygiene, and high temperatures can all cause women to suffer from urethritis. Therefore, women must pay attention to developing a healthy lifestyle, relax, learn to relieve stress, pay attention to sexual hygiene, and avoid disease invasion.

Spread to adjacent organs. Urethritis often occurs with vaginitis and cervicitis. Therefore, women with vaginitis must seek prompt and thorough treatment to avoid affecting nearby organs.

Unclean married life. Urethritis is contagious, and unclean sexual intercourse is an important cause of urethritis. Women with a history of unclean sexual intercourse must go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination afterwards to see if they have contracted the disease. Once you find yourself sick, you should be careful to treat it together with your sexual partner to avoid mutual infection.
