What are the types of female urinary tract diseases?

Compared with men, women are more susceptible to urinary system diseases due to the special structure of their private parts. Female urinary system diseases mainly include female urethral syndrome, overactive bladder, stress urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection, urethral caruncle, bladder or urethrovaginal fistula. Different types of urinary tract diseases require different treatment methods. Below we will introduce several types of female urinary tract diseases.

Female urethral syndrome

It refers to a syndrome of bladder and urethral irritation symptoms without any organic lesions, mainly manifested by varying degrees of frequent urination, urgency, pain and difficulty urinating. The occurrence of this disease is related to unhappy marriage, childbirth, gynecological diseases or gynecological surgery. The incidence rate is higher among women who are depressed, nervous, anxious or neurasthenic, divorced, have family discord and have an disharmonious sexual life.

Overactive bladder

It is characterized by frequent urination and increased nocturia, sometimes accompanied by urinary urgency and incontinence. The cause of the disease is still not very clear. It may be related to the dysfunction of bladder muscle nerve regulation. Some patients may have sequelae of chronic bladder inflammation. Current treatment drugs include tolterodine hydrochloride (Shenitin).

Stress Urinary Incontinence

It is a major type of disease that working women in my country are prone to. The cause is related to multiple childbirths or low estrogen levels after menopause, which causes relaxation of the pelvic floor support tissue. There are many minimally invasive surgeries that can effectively cure this disease.

Urinary tract infection

It is the most common female urological disease, which is mainly related to sexual contact in adolescence, fatigue and menstrual infection in middle-aged women, and low estrogen levels after menopause in elderly women, as well as decreased urothelial repair and anti-infection ability. In addition to paying attention to lifestyle adjustments, menopausal women can appropriately supplement with low doses of estrogen under the guidance of a specialist.

Urethral caruncle

The disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly patients and is related to long-term inflammatory stimulation and low repair capacity of urothelial tissue in postmenopausal women. A small number of patients may develop malignant urinary tract tumors.

Vesicourethrovaginal fistula

The occurrence of this disease is mostly related to incorrect delivery methods. Patients are in great pain, and urine flows out of the vagina involuntarily for a long time, which often seriously affects work and normal life and often leads to the breakdown of family relationships. It is an invisible demon that harms the vast number of working women.
