How to treat symptoms of urinary tract infection in women

As the pace of life is gradually accelerating, many people are unwilling to be idle, so the pressure of work and life is gradually increasing. In addition, in the autumn season, the weather is gradually getting colder, and the immunity is reduced, which can easily cause urinary tract infection. Due to the physiological characteristics of women, the chance of disease is often much higher than that of men, so this type of disease is extremely harmful to women. So how to improve urinary tract infection?

1) Food and drinking. According to the patient's physical condition, give nutritious liquid or semi-liquid food; those with high fever and obvious gastrointestinal symptoms should be given intravenous fluids to ensure sufficient calories.

Increase the amount of water you drink to ensure fluid balance and sufficient urine output. The daily urine output should be above 1500mL. If necessary, intravenous infusion should be given to replenish water.

More fluid intake and more urination can flush the urinary tract, accelerate the excretion of bacteria and inflammatory secretions, and reduce the hyperosmotic state of the renal medulla and papilla, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

(2) Take some rest. During the acute infection period, the patient may have obvious urinary tract irritation symptoms or fever and should rest in bed. He or she can get out of bed and move around after the body temperature returns to normal.

Generally, patients with acute simple cystitis should rest for 3 to 5 days, and patients with pyelonephritis should rest for 7 to 10 days. They can resume work when the symptoms disappear.

Chronic patients should also rest appropriately according to their condition to prevent reinfection due to low immunity caused by excessive fatigue.

(3) Symptomatic treatment. After the diagnosis is clear and appropriate antibacterial drugs are selected, symptomatic treatment is given for high fever, headache, back pain, constipation and other symptoms, such as heat-clearing and analgesic, laxatives and laxatives. When there is spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen, drugs can be given to relieve spasms and pain.

The urethral opening of women is very close to the anus and vagina, which is a major reason why they are prone to urethral infections. The urethral opening of men is farther away from the anus, which also adds a natural barrier for them. If you have a urethral infection, you must seek treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause other diseases. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the above matters.
