How long does it take for a male urinary tract infection to heal?

Urinary tract infection is very harmful, but some people still have frequent occurrences. This is because people do not pay attention to the protection of the urethra in normal times, which leads to urinary tract infection. After being infected with urethritis, bacteria are often brought in, so the patient's underwear should be placed separately, pay attention to personal hygiene, and do regular check-ups. Pay attention to control and treatment, and you can recover quickly.

How long does it take for a male urinary tract infection to heal?

1. The harm of male urinary tract infection is that endogenous bacteria take advantage of the abnormal structure and function of the host's urinary tract, which weakens the defense ability and causes disease. Urinary tract infection in middle-aged and elderly men may cause other symptoms, and its harm is relatively large. Once this group of people suffer from urinary tract infection, it is often lingering and difficult to cure. Severe urinary tract infection patients may also cause serious consequences such as renal failure and uremia. Generally speaking, although the incidence of male urinary tract infection is lower than that of females, it is not uncommon. After middle age, the number of cases of male urinary tract infection gradually increases, and in old age (after 65 years old), the incidence is roughly the same as that of females. The main reason for the increase in the proportion of urinary tract infection in middle-aged and elderly men is bacterial prostatitis and prostatic hypertrophy. These are all due to the harm of male urinary tract infection.

2. Clinically, there are two reasons why male urinary tract infections keep recurring. The first is that the defense function of middle-aged and elderly people gradually weakens. The urinary tract of normal people has a good defense against the invasion of foreign bacteria. Urine outflow can expel bacteria from the body. Some high-concentration substances in urine, such as urea, and the acidic environment in the urinary tract have the function of inhibiting bacterial growth. As middle-aged and elderly men age, the bladder of male urinary tract infection patients becomes weak, the urination reflex gradually weakens, and there is still a lot of urine in the bladder after urination, and even urine retention occurs. At the same time, their kidneys and urinary tracts undergo degenerative changes, and the local mucosal resistance is low. This is also one of the hazards of male urinary tract infection.
