Urinary tract infection diseases are prone to recurrence and difficult to cure, and medication requires a long period of time. When urinary tract infection diseases such as chronic cystitis, chronic pyelonephritis, and chronic prostatitis occur, patients will choose some antibiotics to treat them. Although they work quickly, the treatment cycle of urinary tract infection diseases is long, and long-term and repeated use of antibiotics will produce drug resistance. Please use them under the guidance of a doctor when necessary.

Urinary tract infection treatment methods are as follows:

1. General antibiotics can be used for the first attack. If cystitis recurs, the patient should first undergo urine bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, and then use effective antibiotics according to the drug sensitivity. The elderly should pay attention to choosing drugs with high drug concentrations in kidney tissue and urine and low kidney toxicity, so that inflammation can be effectively controlled as quickly as possible. If recurrences occur after treatment, long-term antibacterial therapy, that is, preventive medication, can be used, which often achieves good results.

2. Drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently (usually once every 2 to 3 hours, with a urine volume of at least 1500 ml per day) can promote the discharge of bacteria and inflammatory exudates and reduce bacterial reproduction in the urinary tract. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and keep the perineum clean.

3. If the infection recurs and the treatment is ineffective, the patient's immune function should be checked. If the patient is confirmed to have low immune function, he or she should take immune-enhancing drugs or practice Qigong, Tai Chi, etc. to enhance the body's ability to resist disease.
