For general urinary tract infections, patients can achieve self-cure by drinking plenty of water and urinating regularly, but serious urinary tract infections require appropriate treatment to be cured.
Bacteria that cause urinary tract infections usually live in the human colon. If these bacteria enter the urethra, they will move upward into the bladder or kidneys and cause an infection.
For a normal infection, you can drink plenty of fluids and urinate more often, but if symptoms such as painful urination, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, etc. occur, you need to seek immediate medical attention. To check the routine urine test, to determine which kind of bacterial infection is caused by, and take antibiotic treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
In your regular life, you can drink plenty of water and empty your bladder as much as possible when urinating. Sex can use condoms and women are advised to urinate immediately afterward, which can prevent bacteria from entering the urethra and prevent urinary tract infections; men should keep their penises clean to avoid bacteria hidden in the foreskin from entering the urethra and causing infections.
Patients with urinary tract infections are advised to go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
