Urinary tract infection is one of the most common diseases of the urinary tract, mainly referring to bacterial infections of the urinary tract including the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder and urethra. It is also one of the diseases that can be easily confused and misunderstood by patients. This is due to the fact that people sweat more and lose more water due to high temperatures. If people do not rehydrate in time, it is easy to have concentrated urine and the urine volume is reduced so that bacteria can easily multiply. The main group of people with urinary tract infections are female patients and older male patients, which is due to the anatomical structure of the female urinary tract and the fact that most older male patients have an enlarged prostate. However, we should note that many patients, especially the elderly, tend to think it is a urinary tract infection based on their personal “experience” – as long as they feel uncomfortable relieving urine, they take antibiotics irregularly to “treat” themselves. This practice is not only wrong but also has a greater potential impact on health. First of all, the use of antibiotics for urinary tract infections must be based on pathogenic testing, and the incorrect use of antibiotics can lead to dysbiosis of the body’s flora causing bacterial resistance and secondary infections. The serious consequence of bacterial resistance is that when you actually have an infection in the urinary tract or other parts of the body, you may already be resistant to multiple antibiotics, which can affect treatment or even endanger your life; secondary infections can be fungal infections brought on by antibiotics, which not only require significant medical costs to treat but also have clinical deaths reported. Second, antibiotics must be used correctly when necessary to achieve therapeutic results. In fact, many of the patients we encounter clinically come to us primarily because they feel discomfort in the urethra or discomfort in urination. A small number of microscopic leukocytes may be present during a routine urine examination. At this time, the use of antibiotic treatment may have a certain degree of efficacy for the first appearance of the lesion, but we found that many patients have their own experience of taking antibiotics several times, the lesion recurring, after repeated use of antibiotics some become less and less effective, and even found that a small number of patients show a decline in kidney function. Combined with this current situation, we suggest that patients with urinary tract infections, especially urinary discomfort, can choose Chinese medicine for treatment. Chinese medicine has many advantages over antibiotics for urinary tract infections, and the combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine can achieve ideal results and overcome the shortcomings of antibiotic treatment alone. The following we discuss this topic, so that you can seek medical advice in more than one choice, more than one health gains. First, Chinese medicine treatment is based on the premise of evidence-based treatment. Chinese medicine treatment of this disease is mainly based on specific patient treatment rather than the uniform use of antibiotics. Most of the elderly male patients, most of the patients with prostate enlargement lesions, may not be aware of the patients themselves or do not link the two together. In fact, urinary retention due to prostate enlargement can be a major cause of discomfort in urination or urinary tract infection. The use of Chinese medical theory to identify and treat the symptoms can be ideal when combined with Chinese herbal medicines to clear heat and facilitate urination. In elderly women, mainly due to low hormone levels and decreased protective function of the urinary tract mucosa due to physiological reasons, recurrent urinary tract infections are not easily controlled and can lead to chronic pyelonephritis in the upper urinary tract, which can lead to damage to kidney function over time. For these patients, the use of antibiotics alone is less effective and there is a risk of drug-related kidney damage with improper use of certain drugs. In this case, the application of heat-clearing and diuretic Chinese medicine for urinary tract infections together with drugs that benefit the qi and tonify the kidneys can achieve twice the effect with half the effort. For young and middle-aged women with urinary tract infections, especially those with recurrent lesions, most of them have vaginal lesions, the application of oral Chinese medicine together with topical Chinese medicine prescriptions can achieve ideal results. The side effects of antibiotics can be avoided. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that Chinese medicine has a better antibacterial effect and that repeated application of Chinese medicine does not result in drug resistance and secondary infections, which can easily occur with antibiotics. Therefore, the application of traditional Chinese medicine under the principle of dialectical treatment can not only achieve the ideal therapeutic effect but also avoid the toxic side effects brought by the use of antibiotics. In addition, liver damage and kidney damage rarely occur with the use of herbal medicines for clearing heat and detoxifying toxins. For elderly women, diabetic patients and patients with low immune function, urinary tract damage tends to recur, so the application of Chinese herbal tea drink for health care treatment under the guidance of the principle of evidence-based treatment can significantly reduce the occurrence of this disease and avoid the repeated use of large amounts of antibiotics. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this kind of things. In particular, for more serious infections due to recurrent episodes, proper pathogenic testing such as midstream urine culture and a regular course of treatment with targeted antibiotics can achieve the desired results in most patients. If the patient’s condition is also combined with the application of Chinese medicine for dialectical treatment, it will not only enhance the efficacy of antibiotics but also reduce the chance of recurrence of urinary tract infection. Therefore, with the advent of summer, the number of patients with urinary tract infections is increasing day by day, and we should pay attention to educating patients who are prone to urinary tract infections about general medical knowledge to prevent the emergence of the disease. If it appears more important to carry out the correct medical guidance and medication to avoid the adverse consequences caused by the abuse and misuse of antibiotics.
