How to check for urinary tract infections in women

If female patients suspect they have a urinary tract infection, the first thing they should check themselves is to see if there are any symptoms. Generally, urinary tract infections have symptoms of frequent, urgent and painful urination, and some are even accompanied by hematuria in the naked eye. If you have the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination, to check the urine routine, to see the situation of white blood cells and red blood cells. If the white blood cells are slightly elevated, you can take oral medication to control them, and it is recommended to recheck the urine routine after 3-4 days of taking the medication. If the white blood cells improve significantly, you can decide to continue the oral medication for a longer period of time depending on the improvement. If the urine routine does not improve, or even continues to worsen, it may be that the medication is not appropriate, and the bacteria are not afraid of the medication used. If this is the case, it is recommended to perfect the urine culture to culture whether there are bacteria in the urine. If it is clear that there are bacteria, you can choose the medication for the bacteria. After the end of this treatment, you can have a review, and this treatment will be over after the urine routine is clear. For patients with recurrent infections, cystoscopy is recommended to control the infection to see if there is an anatomical cause for the urinary tract infection.
