Urine blood clots female

Normally, urine is clear and colorless or slightly yellowish. However, some women may find blood clots in their urine when urinating. If this happens, you need to be vigilant. Because this is most likely caused by urethritis. Women have a special urethra and are more likely to develop urethritis. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about urethritis!

1. Blood clots in urine

It could be urethritis. Urethritis is a common disease that refers to inflammation of the urethral mucosa, which is more common in women. Clinically, it can be divided into acute and chronic, nonspecific urethritis and gonococcal urethritis. The latter two have similar clinical manifestations and must be differentiated based on medical history and bacteriological examination. It is mostly caused by retrograde invasion of pathogenic bacteria into the urethra.

2. Causes of urethritis

1. Urethral injury: Urethral mucosal abrasions caused by urethral instrument examination can destroy the defense function of the urethral mucosa and lead to bacterial infection.

2. Foreign objects in the urethra Foreign objects placed in the urethra from the outside or stones in the urethra, etc., can cause urinary tract infection if they are left there for a long time.

3. Urethral obstruction such as stenosis of the foreskin, stenosis of the external urethral orifice, urethral stenosis, posterior urethral valve, urethral tumor, female hymen umbrella, fusion of urethral orifice and hymen, etc., due to poor urination, urine accumulates in the urethra and may cause secondary urethral infection.

4. Inflammation of adjacent organs such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, vaginitis or cervicitis can spread to the urethra, which is often a stubborn lesion of chronic posterior urethritis.

5. Unclean sexual life Unclean sexual life can easily cause urinary tract infection.

3. Treatment of urethritis

1. Drug treatment:

There are many types of drugs currently used for treatment. According to the type of pathogen and its sensitivity to the drugs, 2 to 3 drugs should be selected and used in combination to achieve better therapeutic effects. The medication should be continued for 7 to 10 days before being discontinued after the symptoms disappear completely, the urine test is normal, and the bacterial culture is negative.

(ii) Surgical treatment:

Surgical treatment is suitable for chronic urethritis (contraindicated in the acute phase):

1. Urethral dilation.

2. Intraurethral instillation of drugs.

3. Endoscopic electrocautery.

Indications for emergency surgery include:

1. Heavy, uncontrollable bleeding.

2. Toxic megacolon with imminent or definite perforation.

3. Obstruction due to stenosis.

4. Suspected or confirmed colon cancer, etc.

3. Other treatments:

During the acute phase, you should drink more water to increase urine volume and flush the urethra. If you experience frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, you can take antispasmodics and eliminate the various causes of urethritis. Urethritis caused by sexually transmitted diseases should be treated at the same time as your spouse, otherwise it will be difficult to cure.
