What care measures are needed for urinary tract infection?

It is generally a disease caused by bacteria entering the urethra, which can easily lead to urinary pain or difficulty urinating, which greatly affects physical health and daily life. In addition to timely treatment, daily care is also very important for urinary tract infection. You can take some painkillers or relieve them through hot compresses.

Actively find the causes of urinary tract infection, correct urinary tract deformities, relieve urinary tract obstruction, and actively treat diseases such as prostate hyperplasia and prostatitis.

3. Medication care

Health Education

1. Introduce the relevant knowledge of urinary tract infection to the patient in detail so that the patient can have a certain understanding of it and cooperate in the treatment.

2. The diet should be light, easily digestible, and nutritious. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.

3. Drink more water and don’t hold urine in daily life.

4. Ensure adequate sleep, engage in appropriate physical exercise, and combine work and rest.

5. Develop good hygiene habits and keep the perineum clean. Rinse the perineum with clean water twice a day, or disinfect the urethral opening with iodine cotton balls twice. Clean the perineum after defecation, and increase the number of perineal cleanings during menstruation, pregnancy, and postpartum period. Avoid using potassium permanganate, saline, boric acid, etc. to clean the perineum.

6. For those who are pregnant for more than 5 months, it is better to sleep in the side-lying position to avoid poor urine flow caused by the uterus compressing the ureter.

7. People with vesicoureteral reflux should develop the habit of "double defecation", that is, urinating again a few minutes after urinating to flush the ureters and urethra. If necessary, perform intermittent clean self-catheterization under the guidance of a urinary control expert to protect kidney function and reduce the possibility of infection.
