Blood clots in female urination

Many women find that they have blood clots when they urinate. If this happens, female friends must pay attention to it, because it is most likely caused by urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection is also a disease that poses a great threat to women's urinary system health and requires timely treatment to avoid further damage to women's health. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about female urinary tract infection!

1. What happens when women have blood clots when urinating?

If a woman urinates with blood clots, it may be due to a urinary tract infection. Because women have short and thick urethras, they are very susceptible to infection. Infection may lead to an increase in white blood cells in the urethra, or even blood clots excreted from the body through urine. In addition, clinical symptoms include urinary tract irritation signs such as frequent urination, painful urination, and urgency, as well as turbid urine. It is recommended to go to the hospital for urinary system color Doppler ultrasound, urine routine examination and other examinations, which will help clarify the condition.

2. Causes of Urinary Tract Infection

More than 95% of urinary tract infections are caused by a single bacteria. Among them, 90% of outpatients and about 50% of inpatients are caused by Escherichia coli, which can be classified into 140 types of serotypes. The urinary infection-causing Escherichia coli is of the same type as the Escherichia coli isolated from the patient's feces, and is often seen in asymptomatic bacteriuria or uncomplicated urinary infection; Proteus, Clostridium difficile, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and fecal Streptococcus are seen in patients with reinfection, indwelling catheters, and complicated urinary tract infections; Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans infections are often seen in patients with diabetes and those using glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants and after kidney transplantation; Staphylococcus aureus is often seen in bacteremia and sepsis caused by skin trauma and drug addicts; although viral and mycoplasma infections are rare, they have tended to increase in recent years. Various bacterial infections are seen in indwelling catheters, neurogenic bladder, stones, congenital malformations, and vaginal, intestinal, and urethral fistulas.

Treatment of urinary tract infection

First of all, for acute simple cystitis, you can take some medication to treat it, or you can choose to take some antibiotics for a period of time. For patients with severe urinary tract infections, they should be hospitalized for treatment, adjust the medication plan, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

Secondly, for asymptomatic bacteriuria infection, it is recommended to conduct urine culture examination in the early stage to promptly discover the true condition of the disease and take some anti-infection treatment to reduce the number of recurrences of the disease.

Finally, of course, we must pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, reduce the growth of bacteria by using medications and daily care, drink more water and urinate more often, don't hold urine, holding urine has many disadvantages and will increase bladder pressure, keep the genitals and anus clean and hygienic, wash the lower body every day, and try not to choose a sitting bath when taking a bath. For female friends, the body is very fragile during menstruation and pregnancy, so it is necessary to strengthen care before and after menstruation and pregnancy to minimize bacterial infection in the body.
