Frequent urination and urgency during menstruation are mostly caused by urinary tract infection, which can be treated with oral levofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, and Sanjin tablets. After healing, keep the area clean and dry to avoid recurrence of inflammation.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) refers to the inflammation caused by the growth and reproduction of pathogens in the urinary tract and the invasion of the urinary tract mucosa or tissue. It is the most common type of bacterial infection. Urinary tract infection is divided into upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection. Upper urinary tract infection refers to pyelonephritis, and lower urinary tract infection includes urinary

The most common bacteria that causes infection is Escherichia coli. Under normal circumstances, it parasitizes in the intestines and does not cause symptoms. However, if it enters the urethra through the anus, it will cause urethritis.

If there is a flushing device in the bathroom, it is best to rinse the anus carefully.

Urinary tract infection health guide

1. General measures: ① Drink more water, preferably more than 2000 ml per day, and urinate every 2 to 3 hours. ② Patients who have sexual intercourse should urinate in time after sexual intercourse. If necessary, they should consult an obstetrician and gynecologist and choose an appropriate contraceptive method. ③Try to avoid the use of urinary tract instruments. ④ Cranberry juice. Experimental studies have shown that cranberry juice can prevent Escherichia coli from adhering to urothelial cells and help prevent urinary tract infections.

2. Antibiotic prevention: Antibiotic prevention can significantly reduce the chance of recurrence of urinary tract infection in women. For female patients with recurrent urinary tract infections 2 or more times within six months, or 3 or more times within 1 year, antibiotic treatment is recommended (Grade A). Prevention plans include continuous medication and post-coital medication, with a course of 6 to 12 months. These regimens must be used after the original urinary tract infection is cured (urine culture is negative 1 to 2 weeks after stopping the medication), and antibiotics can be selected based on previous drug sensitivity test results and the patient's drug allergy history. Compared with the continuous dosing method, the post-coital medication method is more convenient and more easily accepted by patients who have sexual intercourse. Cephalexin, ciprofloxacin, or nitrofurantoin can be taken within 2 hours after sexual intercourse.

3. Prevention for menopausal women: Local application of estrogen ointment in the vagina can restore the local environment of the vagina and reduce the chance of recurrence of urinary tract infection.

4. For patients with frequent recurring urinary urges, their urinary system should be carefully examined for anatomical malformations, underlying lesions (such as stones, polycystic kidney disease, medullary sponge kidney, etc.) and overall immune system abnormalities.
