Why do urethritis prefer women? It turns out to be related to these five reasons

Being born as a human is not easy, and being born as a woman is even more difficult. Not only do you have to be a lady in the living room and a woman in the kitchen, but you also have to fight against mistresses and gangsters. Even very common gynecological diseases need to be well protected. Among them, urethritis is a disease that both men and women suffer from, but compared to men, urethritis seems to be more likely to occur in women. Why is this?

Female patients with urethritis can learn some necessary daily care measures to help alleviate the symptoms of urethritis. So what are the daily care methods? Pay attention to drinking water. Women with urethritis should increase their water intake to ensure fluid balance and excrete enough urine. They should urinate every 2-3 hours a day, and the daily urine volume should be more than 1500mL. This will flush the urinary tract and promote the accelerated excretion of bacteria and inflammatory secretions, thereby avoiding the proliferation of bacteria in the urinary tract and aggravating the urethritis.

Pay attention to the use of sanitary napkins. Female patients with urethritis should especially choose reasonable sanitary napkins. It is best to use weak acid formula products with a Ph value of 4, so as to prevent inferior products from destroying the normal flora of the human body and reducing local resistance. Pay attention to the cleaning of the vulva and anus. Female patients with urethritis should clean the vulva and anus frequently to prevent bacterial growth. When cleaning, you should also pay attention to the order. Wash the vaginal opening first, then the vulva, and finally the area near the anus. Do not do the opposite. Otherwise, external bacteria will invade the internal infection and aggravate the inflammation. In addition, towels and bathtubs for female urethritis patients should be used by specific people to prevent bacteria from infecting others. Pay attention to personal hygiene habits. Female patients with urethritis should take a bath frequently, but it is not recommended to take a bath in a tub. Frequent bathing can prevent bacterial invasion to a greater extent and is conducive to the recovery of inflammation.

Daily clothes should be stored separately, and underwear should be changed every day. New underwear or underwear that has not been worn for a long time should be washed and aired before wearing. Cotton underwear with good ventilation and strong moisture absorption should be worn, and tight pants or jeans should be worn as little as possible. This is very important for protecting women's health. Women should try to avoid sexual contact during urethritis. This is to prevent cross infection and aggravation of inflammation. Pay attention to rest. The urethra of female urethritis patients is easily aggravated by external stimuli, which may cause fever and other symptoms. Therefore, they should maintain appropriate bed rest time to prevent excessive fatigue, which will reduce the body's immunity and make it difficult to relieve inflammation.

In fact, urethritis is more likely to occur in women because of the structure of their reproductive organs. Let us explain it in detail below:

1. The particularity of the female urinary and reproductive system structure: The female urethra is straight, short and wide, which makes it easy for bacteria to enter. This provides a convenient door for bacteria to enter the urethra, so female friends need to strengthen their self-protection awareness.

2. The female urethra is close to the vagina and anus: There are a large number of bacteria around the vagina and anus. Vaginal secretions are also a good culture medium, making it easier for bacteria to reproduce.

3. Menstruation and sexual activity: Menstrual blood is a culture medium for bacteria. Menstrual hygiene, especially the cleaning and disinfection of menstrual products, is an important part of reducing bacterial invasion. Sexual intercourse can push bacteria from the anterior urethra into the posterior urethra and bladder through mechanical pushing action.

4. Holding urine: This is a common bad habit among women. It will cause two adverse consequences: First, urine stays in the bladder for a long time, which gives bacteria more time to multiply and invade tissues; second, when the bladder is full, the pressure increases, and urine will flow back up to the ureter. If bacteria have already invaded, it will be sent to a position further upstream, causing pyelonephritis.

5. External factors: The female vulva has a lot of sweat glands. If it is in a high temperature environment for a long time, the body will excrete too much. If it is not properly cared for at this time, it will easily cause the vulva to be in a moist state for a long time, which will accelerate the reproduction of bacteria and allow Newborbus to take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause urethritis.

Warm reminder: I believe everyone understands the above introduction. Since we cannot change the structure of reproductive organs, we can prevent urethritis from happening through daily care, such as drinking more water, paying attention to private hygiene, keeping warm, regular check-ups, etc. I hope everyone can become a healthy woman without inflammation.
