Causes of Urinary Tract Infection in Men

Urinary tract infection is a contagious disease. Both men and women have the chance to suffer from this disease. The difference is that the symptoms and causes of male and female urinary tract infection are different. Only by clearly understanding the real cause of male or female urinary tract infection can we better study the treatment of these diseases, not only that, but also the corresponding preventive measures can be studied.

Therefore, it can be seen that understanding the cause of the disease is a very critical first step. When you are diagnosed with a disease such as urinary tract infection, you need to directly find out the cause of the disease. In order to better treat this, this is very important. So what is the cause of male urinary tract infection?

1: Lymphatic infection: There are many communicating branches between the lymphatic vessels of the lower abdomen and pelvic organs and the lymphatic vessels around the kidneys. There are also lymphatic vessels between the ascending colon and the right kidney. When there is pelvic organ inflammation, appendicitis and colitis, bacteria can also infect the kidneys through the lymphatics. This infection route is even rarer, and there is even controversy about whether this infection route exists.

2: Direct infection: When there is trauma or infection in organs adjacent to the kidneys, bacteria can directly invade the kidneys and cause infection. However, this situation is very rare clinically.

3: Ascending infection: Most urinary sensations are caused by ascending infection. Under normal circumstances, there are bacteria parasitic in the urethral opening and its surroundings, but generally do not cause infection. When the body's resistance is reduced or the urethral mucosa is slightly damaged, or when the bacteria are highly toxic and have a strong ability to adhere to the urethral mucosa and ascend, they are likely to invade the bladder and kidneys, causing infection.

4: Hematogenous infection: Hematogenous infection is more common in newborns or hematogenous renal infection in patients with Staphylococcus aureus septicemia.

5: Ascending infection: Urinary discomfort is caused by ascending infection. When the body's resistance is reduced or the urethral mucosa is slightly damaged, or when the bacteria are highly toxic and have a strong ability to adhere to the urethral mucosa and ascend, they can easily invade the bladder and kidneys and cause infection.

6: As men are busy with work, they rarely pay attention to personal hygiene, especially local hygiene, which allows bacteria to invade the male reproductive organs. Under the long-term stimulation of inflammation, male patients suffer from urinary tract infections.

7: Male patients suffer from certain diseases. When examining the bladder with instruments, some irregular instruments were found, or the doctor made an error in operation, causing upper urinary tract infection.

8: Male friends do not pay attention to nutrition in daily life, which reduces the body's resistance and allows bacteria to invade the male body. Under long-term inflammatory stimulation, the male genitals become infected and induce urinary tract infection.

So what behaviors and external environmental factors are likely to cause male urinary tract infections?

Holding urine: Many men drink less water for work, because drinking water means they have to go to the toilet, which affects their work efficiency. When they feel the urge to urinate, they hold their urine and go to the toilet when they can no longer hold it. Experts point out that holding urine can cause physical and psychological tension. Failure to urinate in time when you have to urinate can easily cause urinary tract infection. If you hold urine for a long time, urine cannot flush away bacteria, and a large number of bacteria gather in the urinary tract, and the urinary system is bound to be invaded by bacteria. Holding urine not only causes urinary tract infection, but also affects bladder function, resulting in frequent urination and hematuria.

Cold: When the weather turns cold, if you don't add more clothes in time, especially if your feet are not warm enough, your shoes and socks will easily lead to a decrease in body resistance, which can directly or indirectly cause urinary tract infection. After being cold, the body's resistance decreases, which can easily cause upper respiratory tract infection symptoms such as sore throat, dry throat, runny nose, sneezing, etc. Subsequently, pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, chlamydia or mycoplasma that cause upper respiratory tract infection may enter the urinary system through the blood, causing symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.

The above introduces the causes of male urinary tract infection. Only by correctly understanding the causes of male urinary tract infection can we more conveniently study the treatment methods for male urinary tract infection. Once you have the disease, no matter what the situation is, the only goal is to cure it faster, only in this way can you restore your healthy body.
