What should women do if they have lower abdominal pain when urinating?

Some women find a dull pain in their lower abdomen when urinating, but they often don't pay much attention to it and think it's not a big problem. In fact, this idea is totally wrong, because this symptom may be caused by urinary tract infection and needs timely treatment, otherwise it will induce more serious symptoms. So, what should you pay attention to when you have a urinary tract infection?

1. Good habits should be developed

Drink more water. Take in more than 3000 ml of water every day to play the diuretic effect of water, flush out parasitic bacteria in the urethra and eliminate the risk of infection.

Pay attention to personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, change underwear frequently, wear cotton underwear that is breathable and absorbent, pay more attention to hygiene during sex, and wipe clean from the vulva to the anus after defecation;

Do not hold your urine and urinate every 2 to 3 hours to prevent bacteria from growing in the urinary tract. Avoid developing bad habits such as excessive drinking, long periods of sitting, and long-term driving. When you are in a hurry to urinate, do not delay going to the toilet.

2. Eat and live properly

Pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, and insist on physical exercise. You should also pay attention to strengthening nutrition and improving physical fitness. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and pay attention to bed rest during treatment. This is an important part of treatment.

Light diet

Patients should eat a light diet and eat less irritating foods. During the remission period, they should eat more nourishing and kidney-benefiting foods to strengthen their physical fitness and improve their immunity. During the attack period, eat light, easily digestible and nutritious food, drink more light tea or boiled water, and eat some qi-invigorating, detoxifying and diuretic foods.

3. Drug treatment should be reasonable

Complete treatment

Generally, the symptoms of urinary tract infection can be alleviated after taking medicine for two days, but the disease is not completely cured. Treatment should be continued for one to two weeks. The medication can be stopped only when the routine urine test is completely normal for two to three consecutive times. Otherwise, if urinary tract infection is not treated properly, it can easily become chronic. In severe cases, it may even cause serious complications such as sepsis and septic shock. Chronic pyelonephritis can also lead to chronic renal failure. When you are sick, don’t take medicine blindly. Store some common medicines at home, such as Sanjin Tablets, Isatis Root, etc.

Because a woman's vagina and urethra are so close together, urinary tract infections are very common. After falling ill, you must make sure to see a doctor in time and take some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs under the doctor's guidance, so that the condition can be quickly controlled. Usually pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, so as to prevent the occurrence of this disease.
