What causes urinary tract infection? What are the symptoms?

Summer is a season that easily breeds various bacteria. Men are also prone to some prostate diseases in summer, such as urinary tract infection, which is the most common among male friends. To prevent the occurrence of this disease, we need to understand its symptoms.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection

1. The main symptoms are frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, discomfort and lower abdominal pain. Some patients will quickly experience difficulty urinating, and the urine is often turbid and has a strange smell. About 30% of patients may have hematuria. Generally, there are no systemic infection symptoms. A small number of patients have low back pain and fever.

Second, acute patients generally have fever, chills, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. The urinary system will have symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and pain, and lower abdomen will feel pain from time to time. For chronic patients, the systemic urinary system symptoms are not very typical. Acute patients will turn into chronic if not treated in time. At this time, patients will have increased nocturia and low specific gravity urine. If the condition persists, it can develop into chronic renal failure.

3. For patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria, there are generally no symptoms for a long time, and there is nothing abnormal in the routine urine test. However, it should not be taken lightly, and it is better to have regular check-ups.

In addition to the above three points, if the infection is not treated promptly and effectively in the early stages, the pathogen will spread from the surface of the infected organ to the deeper parts, causing the inflammation to spread. The patient will experience complications such as general discomfort, dizziness, fatigue, soreness and slight pain in the lumbar and perineum, fever, and rash in the genital area.
