What should women do if they have acute urinary tract infection and blood in their urine?

Urinary tract infection is a common disease in the clinical reproductive and urinary system, but when it occurs acutely, it may have a serious impact on the body, especially in women, where acute urinary tract infection may also cause symptoms of hematuria. Because of the special structure of the female reproductive system, it is very easy for various bacteria to invade in daily life. In life, we should avoid unclean sexual life, try to improve the body's resistance, and also put more effort into hygiene during menstruation.

Acute urethritis is treated with a combination of antibiotics and chemical drugs, which has a better effect. Recently, norfloxacin has been used in combination with sulfonamides, with satisfactory clinical results. Systemic treatment should include rest and adequate fluid intake. During the acute phase, sexual intercourse should be avoided as this will prolong the course of the disease. During the chronic stage, if there is stricture at the external urethral orifice or inside the urethra, urethral dilation or urethral opening splitting should be performed. For patients with chronic posterior urethritis who have long-term recurring attacks and are not effectively responded to systemic medications, local urethral medications may be considered.

The main symptom of acute urethritis in male patients is a lot of urethral secretions, which are mucous at first and gradually become purulent. Urethral secretions are rare in female patients. Both men and women experience burning pain in the urethra, frequent urination, and urgency when urinating. In severe cases, urethral spasm may occur. Urine examination showed pus cells and red blood cells. In chronic urethritis, urethral secretions gradually decrease, or only a small amount of serous secretions can be seen at the urethral opening during the first urination in the early morning. The urination irritation symptoms are no longer as obvious as in the acute phase, and some patients may be asymptomatic.

After urinary tract infection has been confirmed clinically, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy is generally adopted. Do not take the medicine intermittently during the treatment. Although Western medicine takes effect faster, long-term use will produce strong drug resistance, and there will be various side effects on the patient's body. In extremely serious cases, it will damage the spleen and stomach and reduce the patient's immunity. In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs that can enhance the body's immunity and treat the disease at the same time. The effect is also very good.
