Inflammation of the urinary tract can manifest itself by such diseases as urethritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis.
Symptoms of urological inflammation
The main symptoms of inflammation of the urinary tract are:
- dysuria;
- turbidity of urine (sometimes with an admixture of blood);
- frequent urge to empty the bladder;
- burning and soreness in the process of urination;
- back pain;
- a slight increase in temperature.
In the development of this group of urological diseases, subcooling and the presence of concomitant diseases are of great importance. Therefore, it is in the cold season and the season of colds that urological problems are particularly acute.
Treatment and prevention of inflammation
Currently, the question of how to treat inflammation of the urinary tract most effectively is quite relevant.
The basis of effective treatment is the correct diagnosis. Carrying out differential diagnostics, the doctor should take into account the patient's complaints, the clinical picture of the disease, the results of laboratory and instrumental studies.
With inflammation of the urinary tract, as a rule, antibiotics with a wide spectrum of action are used, as well as therapy aimed at eliminating unpleasant manifestations of inflammation.
In most cases, treatment can be done at home, but if the sepsis develops or the kidneys are affected, the patient may need to be hospitalized. In this case, antibacterial drugs are administered intravenously. In the treatment of these diseases are used: amoxicillin, bactrim, pritoprim, ampicillin, nitrofurans, fluoroquinolones or combinations of drugs (depending on the severity of the inflammation). The course of antibiotic treatment is 1-2 weeks, after which laboratory tests are performed to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
During the period of therapy, patients should consume as much fluid as possible, observe a semi-fast diet, and a salt-restricted diet.
Inflammation of the urinary tract is now widespread and quite painful, but therapy is being given, although not always in a short time. To prevent prolonged their course, doctors recommend:
- in time to empty the bladder;
- take a sufficient amount of fluid;
- avoid drinking coffee, alcohol, spicy, salty foods;
- carefully engage in self-medication with antibiotics;
- during the treatment do not have sex.
