The key to preventing male urinary tract infections is not to delay three lines of defense

The heavy pressure of life and work has overwhelmed men's physical health. Many men suffer from urinary tract infections, which are caused by different site infections. Due to their recurrent nature, the prognosis and treatment plans are different. Therefore, distinguishing between upper and lower urinary tract infections and identifying the site of urinary tract infections is of great significance.

There are various causes of male urethral infections

The main cause of urinary tract infection is infection, and the causes of infection are various. It can be a virus, bacteria, mold, tuberculosis, chlamydia, trichomonas infection, etc. Specifically, the main causes of male urethral infections are as follows:

1. Urinary tract obstruction: After the occurrence of urinary tract obstruction, it will cause difficulty in urination, making it difficult for bacteria in the bladder to be excreted, causing a large number of bacteria to multiply in the bladder. Furthermore, the urinary tract tissue above the site of urinary tract obstruction is prone to urinary tract infection due to increased pressure, which affects its local blood circulation and reduces the anti infective ability of the local mucosa of the urinary tract.

2. If an instrument has been used to perform an examination inside the bladder, such as cystoscopy, catheterization, or indwelling a catheter, some doctors in irregular medical facilities may make mistakes and cause upper urinary tract infections.

3. Patients with congenital malformations of the urinary tract or urinary function defects, such as renal underdevelopment, polycystic kidney disease, ureteral malformation, or bladder ureteral reflux (i.e. abnormal urine flow from the bladder to the renal pelvis during urination), are prone to urinary tract infections.

4. Abuse of antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as phenacetin: Renal papilla necrosis is prone to occur, which damages renal defense function and causes urinary tract infections.

5. Urethral infections caused by other reasons.
