What are the symptoms of acute urinary tract infection in women?

When the urinary tract is infected, there will generally be a stinging sensation when urinating, and frequent urination will also occur. For the disease of urinary tract infection, the symptoms of male and female patients are different. Diseases of the male reproductive organs are generally more obvious, but many women do not feel it and do not realize they are sick until a long time after the onset of the disease. Only by understanding the symptoms of the disease can you judge whether you are sick early. Next, the editor will talk to you about the symptoms of acute urinary tract infection in women.

The majority of patients with urinary tract infection are women, and among female patients with urinary tract infection, most are acute urinary tract infection patients. Symptoms of acute urinary tract infection in women:

1. Frequent urination, painful urination and burning pain in the urinary tract: Both men and women experience burning pain, frequent urination and urgency when urinating, and urine examination shows pus cells and red blood cells. The secretions of chronic urinary tract infection gradually decrease, or only a small amount of serous secretions can be seen near 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.

2. Redness, swelling or eversion of the urethral opening: When the urethra is acutely inflamed, the external urethral opening will be red, swollen or everted. This is because the mucosal surface is often adhered by serous or purulent secretions. Microscopically, mucosal edema can be seen, with infiltration of white blood cells, plasma cells and lymphocytes, dilation of capillaries, and congestion of the paraurethral glands or filling with piles of pus cells.

3. The urethral secretions are small and thin: If you do not urinate for a long time (such as in the morning), a small amount of thin secretions may overflow from the external urethral opening. Sometimes the only manifestation is a scab blocking the urethra or staining underwear in the morning. During the examination, the anterior urethra needs to be squeezed from back to front to allow a small amount of secretions to overflow from the urethral opening. Sometimes the patient has symptoms but no secretions, or sometimes the patient has no symptoms but has secretions.

When women suffer from acute urinary tract infection, there are still many symptoms. As long as you pay more attention to it, you can still clearly see that you are ill. During the urinary tract infection, you must not eat spicy and irritating foods, and do not drink too much beverages. It is best to eat some foods that are easily absorbed and utilized, control your water intake, and actively treat it.
