What are the dangers of male urinary tract infection? Three major signs to be alert to

Urinary tract infection brings great harm to men's health. Male urinary system diseases not only harm men themselves, but also have great disadvantages on male sexual life. What are the symptoms of male urinary tract infection? Why do male urinary infections often recur?

Causes of Urinary System Diseases

1. The causes of urinary system diseases are complex and there are many types of diseases: Male urinary tract infection refers to the disease caused by the male reproductive system (urethra, prostate, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, testicle, etc.) being infected by bacteria, viruses or parasites. Most male reproductive infectious diseases are caused by the invasion of external bacteria, often causing orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, etc. The pathogens that cause reproductive tract infections include gonococci, tuberculosis, viruses, mycoplasmas, Chlamydia trachomatis, Trichomonas and other non-specific pathogens, among which reproductive tract infections caused by mycoplasmas and chlamydia are the most common.

2. Incomplete treatment of urinary system diseases in the early stage of onset: Incomplete treatment after urinary tract infection occurs, the bacteria are not completely killed and the medication is stopped. The residual bacteria are still lurking there. Once you encounter fatigue or your body's resistance is reduced, the residual latent bacteria will reproduce again. This is another reason for the recurrence of urinary tract infection. People with urinary tract infection also suffer from congenital malformations, obstruction, stones, etc., which are also important inducements for the recurrence of urinary tract infection.

3. Blind treatment, damage to the internal environment: Due to the serious harm of urinary tract infection, people generally have some panic psychology, and some people over-consider privacy protection, which has led to various cognitive and behavioral deviations in treatment: traditional concepts play tricks, not going to regular hospitals for treatment, increasing the difficulty of subsequent treatment; not going to the hospital, blindly buying medicine for self-treatment, superstitious special medicines and expensive medicines; eager for quick results, wanting to fight a "quick battle". As a result, blindly using antibiotics has caused bacterial resistance and damaged the internal environment. The wrong choice of method at the beginning may cause "battle-hardened" treatment in the future.

The human urinary system consists of the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra, as well as related vascular nerves, and is responsible for the production and discharge of urine. When bacteria such as E. coli invade the urinary tract, it can cause a variety of urinary tract infections, including urethritis, cystitis and pyelonephritis. Urethritis and cystitis are called lower urinary tract infections, while pyelonephritis is called upper urinary tract infection.

When the following three signs appear, beware of urinary tract infection:

(1) Abnormal urine. Urinary tract infection can cause abnormal changes in urine, common ones include bacteriuria, purulent urine, hematuria, etc.

(2) Abnormal urination. Common abnormal urination symptoms of urinary tract infection include frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination. Urinary incontinence and urinary retention may also be seen. Chronic renal failure caused by chronic pyelonephritis may cause polyuria in the early stage, and oliguria or anuria in the later stage.

(3) Lumbar pain. Lumbar pain is a common clinical symptom. Kidney and perirenal diseases are one of the common causes of lumbago. Inflammation of the kidney and perirenal areas, such as renal abscess, perirenal inflammation, perirenal abscess, and acute pyelonephritis, often cause persistent and severe bloating and pain in the lower back. The lumbago caused by chronic pyelonephritis is often soreness.
