What causes urinary tract infection in men?

Urinary tract infection is a very common urinary system disease. Usually, urinary tract infection can cause many complications, and the incidence of urinary tract infection is very high. It is usually more common in women. For example, women in the active sexual life or women after menopause may have bacterial infection leading to urinary tract infection. So how is it caused? The following is the relevant content found by the editor.

1. Urinary tract infection is very common in women, mainly because women have shorter urethras, which makes it easier for bacteria to ascend than men. In addition, there is E. coli at the opening of the female urethra, and sexual intercourse is an important cause of infection.

2. According to reports: Generally, 4.5% of pregnant women have bacteriuria, and the incidence rate is higher than that of non-pregnant women of the same age. The incidence rate is even higher in older pregnant women and multiparous pregnant women. Therefore, pregnancy is an important inducement of urinary infection.

3. Urinary tract obstruction is an important reason for inducing urinary sensation and easy ascending infection. According to statistics, the incidence of urinary sensation in people with urinary tract obstruction is 12 times higher than that in people without obstruction. Due to stones, tumors, urethral stenosis, prostatic hypertrophy, female bladder neck obstruction, phimosis, neurogenic bladder, bladder diverticulum, kidney ptosis and other reasons, urine flow is not smooth, bacteria are not easily discharged from the bladder and multiply in large numbers, which is easy to cause infection.

4. Urinary tract malformations or functional defects, such as renal dysplasia, polycystic kidney disease, medullary cystic disease, iron hoof kidney and other kidney, renal pelvis, ureteral malformations or vesicoureteral reflux (the abnormal phenomenon of urine flowing back from the bladder to the renal pelvis during urination), are prone to infection.

5. Diabetes patients are more likely to have urinary tract infections because the glucose in urine provides nutrition for bacteria. Once such patients have urinary infection, they are prone to pyelonephritis and even acute renal papillary necrosis. Therefore, urinary tract instruments should be avoided for diabetic patients.

In summary, patients with diabetes are more likely to develop urinary tract infections. To prevent urinary tract infections, you must learn to pay attention to personal hygiene. Since diabetic patients are more likely to develop such infections, they also need to pay attention to their diet and try not to eat too sweet foods or fruits.
