Our body is composed of many systems, such as the respiratory system, reproductive system, urinary system, etc. If these systems can remain healthy, then the body will definitely be very healthy. For some men, it may be because they do not pay attention to their body maintenance, so the urinary system is prone to problems. The most common disease is acute urinary tract infection, which must be treated urgently. So what should men pay attention to when they have acute urinary tract infection?

Examination of acute urethritis

1. Symptoms of urethral irritation;

2. The urethral opening is red and swollen, with purulent secretions and tenderness along the urethra;

3. There are a lot of red blood cells and white blood cells in the urine, and the first cup of urine in the three-cup urine test is obviously abnormal;

4. If there are pathogenic bacteria in urethral secretion smear staining or bacterial culture, it can be distinguished from gonococcal urethritis. Acute urethritis is treated with a combination of antibiotics and chemical drugs, which has a better therapeutic effect. Recently, norfloxacin and sulfonamide drugs have been used in combination, with satisfactory clinical results. Systemic treatment should pay attention to rest and adequate fluid intake. During the acute period, sexual intercourse should be avoided, otherwise it will prolong the course of the disease.

Acute urethritis care

(1) During the acute attack period, especially for patients with acute pyelonephritis, they should rest in bed for a few days and avoid strenuous labor.

(2) Drink plenty of water, no less than 2000 ml per day. Keep warm and avoid getting cold or damp.

(3) Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and wash it every day.

(4) Avoid wearing tight pants, especially for patients with cystitis or urethritis, as tight pants can induce congestion in the vulva and aggravate symptoms.

(5) People with acute urinary tract infection should absolutely avoid sexual intercourse; people with chronic urinary tract infection should also refrain from sexual intercourse. For urinary tract infection related to sexual intercourse, the vulva should be washed before and after sexual intercourse, and a dose of antibiotics can be taken orally 2 hours in advance.

(6) For patients with recurrent urinary tract infections, their spouses should also undergo routine urine tests or midstream urine culture tests. If they have the same disease or are carriers of the bacteria, they should also receive treatment.

(7) People with chronic cystitis or urethritis should avoid riding a bicycle for long periods of time as this may compress the urethra and induce congestion in the urethra, bladder, or bladder neck, which may affect the relief of symptoms.

(8) Early, reasonable, and thorough treatment is the key to curing this disease. Do not stop taking medication on your own, but take medication according to the course of treatment. Have regular follow-up.

For male patients with urinary tract infection, because there will be a lot of secretions in the urethra, these secretions are mucous at first, and finally become like pus, and there will be a burning sensation when urinating, so it is necessary to find the most correct and appropriate method of treatment. In addition, you should also pay attention to personal hygiene. During the treatment period, you must ensure that your genitals are dry and clean, and change your underwear every day.
