Symptoms of urinary tract infection in women

What issues should women pay attention to during pregnancy? The most common problem is urinary tract infection. Many people don’t know what urinary tract infection in pregnant women is. It doesn’t matter. This article will introduce you to the symptoms of this disease. Now let’s take a look at what it is.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection in Women:

First of all, during pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will compress the bladder and ureters, causing the urine flow to slow down or form a mild effusion, which will facilitate bacterial invasion and reproduction and cause disease. The vaginal discharge of female urinary tract infection symptoms is alkaline and lacks anti-inflammatory factors, so it is difficult to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, causing urinary tract infection.

Secondly, the reason why symptoms of urinary tract infection in women tend to trouble them in summer is related to their physiological and anatomical structure. Because women's urethra is naturally shorter, the urethral opening is near the perineum and anus. Bacteria can easily invade the urethra. In addition, the temperature is high in summer, the human body sweats a lot, and the sweat glands in the female vulva are particularly abundant.

Then, menstruation and sexual activity can also easily cause symptoms of UTI in women. Menstrual blood is the best culture medium for bacteria, which leads to bacterial proliferation in the female perineum. Sexual intercourse can push bacteria from the anterior urethra into the posterior urethra and bladder through mechanical pushing action. There are many chronic gynecological diseases (such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic and adnexitis, etc.), whose secretions can contaminate the urethra and cause urinary tract infection.

Through the introduction of this article, we found that urinary tract infections are all caused by bacteria, especially in summer when the incidence rate is particularly high. This should attract the attention of women. When you have not developed good hygiene habits, you must pay attention, because maybe you will be the next patient.
