Women are born with a short urethra, and the external opening of the urethra is close to the vaginal opening and anus, making it easy to get infected with bacteria; When women experience menstruation, their immune system will decrease, and with a slight opening of the cervix, they are more likely to be infected with urethritis and vaginitis. According to data, women have a higher probability of developing urinary tract infections than men. Women suffering from urinary tract infections may experience a series of discomfort such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain, which brings many inconveniences to life. In addition, if not treated in a timely manner, it may also cause other gynecological diseases. So the health of the urethra is actually closely related to the health of the reproductive organs. So how do women observe their body abnormalities from urination?
1、 Urination volume and frequency. Normal people urinate around 4-8 times a day, with a total urine output of approximately 1500 milliliters. The specific frequency and urine volume may vary depending on individual dietary habits. Although we cannot clearly sense the difference in urine volume. However, if there is a noticeable increase in the frequency of urination, a decrease in urination after drinking a lot of water, or a sudden increase after not drinking much water, it is necessary to seek medical attention.
2、 Urine color. We know that even the urine color of the same person is not fixed, but varies according to their physical condition. Under normal circumstances, urine appears light yellow. When drinking a lot of water, urine will appear colorless and transparent. If there is severe sweating and dehydration, the urine will turn dark yellow. The urine of some patients with other diseases will also change during taking the medicine. Generally, the adjustment will return to normal after stopping the medicine. If a woman discovers red urine outside of her menstrual period, it may be a urinary tract infection.
3、 The smell of urine. Diet can change the odor of urine. For example, asparagus, some people eat asparagus and their urine will emit a smell like rotten cabbage. When normal urine is first excreted, it has a weak odor, has been stored for a long time, is contaminated by bacteria, and has a strong ammonia odor. If fresh urine has a foul odor, it is likely a signal of bacterial infection and should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. In addition, the urine of diabetes patients will smell of sweet fruits. If there is such an abnormality, it is best to check it.
How to regulate female urinary tract infections?
The incidence rate of urinary tract infection in summer has increased by about 50% compared with that in winter. It is very common for women to suffer from urinary tract infection. If the symptoms are mild, they can be cured by paying more attention to diet and cooking in daily life. Pay attention to drinking plenty of water to help eliminate bacteria and urine. The diet should be light, and you can eat detoxifying and diuretic foods such as mung beans, winter melon, and pears. During sexual activity, pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum and also ensure the cleanliness of the sexual partner's genitals. Don't stop urinating, don't urinate immediately. At the same time, do not blindly use medication. The condition has not improved or worsened.
