If you have a urinary tract infection during menstruation, you need to give targeted treatment according to the patient's own situation. Urinary tract infection mainly refers to diseases of the urinary system. There are many conditions that belong to urinary tract infection, such as cystitis. If it is a simple acute cystitis, the treatment is generally a three-day therapy, that is, oral medication for treatment. However, when taking oral medications, you must pay attention to the use and dosage of the drugs and strictly follow the doctor's instructions.

If it is acute simple pyelonephritis, antibiotics can generally be used for treatment. Generally, a fourteen-day treatment course is required. Especially for patients with mild acute symptoms, high-efficiency antibiotics are usually used, which can shorten the treatment course by about half. If it is a complicated urinary tract infection, the treatment method needs to vary from person to person. This is also a common urinary tract infection, which is a more complicated type.
