What are the treatments for urethritis

Urethritis is a common reproductive disease that poses a great threat to the health of the reproductive system. There are actually many methods to treat urethritis, but during the treatment process, care should also be taken seriously, otherwise it will cause recurrence of urethritis.

1. Application of antibiotics: There are many types of drugs currently used for treatment. 2 to 3 drugs should be selected and used in combination according to the type of pathogen and its sensitivity to the drugs, which has a better therapeutic effect. The medication should be continued for 7 to 10 days before being discontinued after the symptoms disappear completely, the urine test is normal, and the bacterial culture is negative.

2. Auxiliary treatment: In the acute phase, you should drink more water to increase urine volume and flush the urethra. If you experience frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, you can take antispasmodics and eliminate the various causes of urethritis. Urethritis caused by sexually transmitted diseases should be treated at the same time as your spouse, otherwise it will be difficult to cure.

3. Local treatment: suitable for chronic urethritis, contraindicated in the acute phase.

①Urethra dilation: It has drainage and massage effects and can prevent inflammatory urethral stricture. Expand once a week to size F24.

② Intraurethral instillation of drugs: After the urethra is dilated, 5% to 10% weak protein silver 5 to 10 ml can be instilled into the urethra at low pressure, which has the effect of astringency and reducing inflammation.

③Endoscopic electrocautery: suitable for when there are ulcers and granulation tissue in the urethra.

There are 4 foods that you should avoid when you have urethritis.

1. Do not eat acidic foods: Acidic foods include pork, beef, chicken, duck, eggs, carp, oysters, shrimp, as well as flour, rice, peanuts, barley, beer, etc. The acidity and alkalinity of urine are closely related to the growth of bacteria and the antibacterial activity of drugs, so it is very necessary to avoid acidic foods.

2. No smoking or drinking: We know that smoking and drinking are very bad things. Smoking can aggravate urethritis because the nicotine in tobacco can weaken the binding force between arterial blood and oxygen, and alcohol can promote dampness and heat, so it should be avoided.

3. Do not eat seafood: In daily life, aquatic products such as mandarin fish, yellow croaker, hairtail, black fish, shrimp, crab, etc. will promote damp heat. Generally, after eating them, it will aggravate the itching of our vulva, which is very unfavorable for the disappearance of inflammation, so they should not be eaten.

4. Do not eat red dates: Red dates are a sweet food. If you eat too much, it will easily cause phlegm and dampness, which will lead to water accumulation in the body and cause difficulty in urination. At the same time, because red dates are warm in nature and tend to be damp and hot, eating too much of them can easily lead to dampness and heat, thereby aggravating the patient's difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urgency. Therefore, people with urethritis should not eat too many red dates.
