This uncomplicated urinary tract infection is

usually experienced by

women. Why? Because women have

short urinary tracts.

Upper urinary tract infections are usually

accompanied by symptoms of lower back pain

and fever. So,

for ee, urinary tract infection

means that there are germs or bacteria

that enter the urinary tract. Well,

the urinary tract is various,

starting from the kidneys, ureters, and

bladder. But what is

most experienced by people in

this world is lower urinary tract infection

or commonly called

cystitis or urinary tract infection

. E of course the cause of all of them is

usually bacteria. If we

examine bacteria in normal urine, it is

not usually found.

He could have a urinary tract infection

due to the entry of these bacteria.

This means it enters through the urinary tract

from outside. The bacteria, the bacteria,

go up to the bladder or

urinary tract above it like that

. So the answer is that

bacteria enter from outside the

human body. [music]

The most common symptoms that

people who have

urinary tract infections usually experience are

frequent

urination. or usually accompanied

by symptoms of pain when urinating,

especially at the end of urination. Then the feeling of

wanting to urinate continuously. When

the patient wants to urinate,

only a little comes out. Then there is a

feeling of discomfort in the lower abdominal area

or in more severe cases

accompanied by urine that changes color

such as red or

bloody urine. For upper urinary tract infections, it is

usually accompanied by

symptoms of low back pain [music] and fever.

Well, if it has reached an

upper urinary tract infection or

kidney infection [music], it usually requires

treatment in hospital.

There are two types of urinary tract infections,

uncomplicated and

complicated. [music] If it's

uncomplicated, it means a

simple urinary tract infection. So, without any

cause whatsoever,

bacteria entered. Usually influenced

by lifestyle. For example, if you like to

hold your urine or don't drink enough. And

usually,

these uncomplicated urinary tract infections are usually

experienced by women. Why? Because

women have short urinary tracts.

Different from men. Therefore, if a

urinary tract infection occurs in

men, it is definitely a

complicated urinary tract infection,

making it much more complex to

treat. Because men are the

channels of Kemang. So, if he does

n't have any problems, he should

n't have a urinary tract infection

. Different from women.

So if a patient comes

to the doctor to diagnose

this urinary tract infection, there are several ways.

The first is that the doctor will

conduct an anamnesis examination or

medical interview. Let's look at

the symptoms and factors that

cause urinary tract infections. This is

done by observing the symptoms, whether there is pain when

urinating, bloody urine, and

whether there is a history of holding urine

for a long period of time.

Then the doctor will perform a

physical examination, which usually

involves pressing on the lower abdominal area to see

whether there are any symptoms of tenderness

or not. Then, to make a

more definite diagnosis, the doctor

will ask for a simple urine test

or what we usually call a

complete urine test. There, it will be seen

whether there are bacteria there and

whether there is an increase in white blood cells

found in the urine as a

sign of infection in the urinary tract

.

So actually, a simple UTI

will usually sometimes heal

on its own because the body

has a natural defense mechanism,

namely urination. So when someone

has a urinary tract infection, the body

will stimulate more

frequent urination. So the patient will often

go back and forth to the bathroom. It is the

body's response to expel bacteria

in the bladder. But

sometimes that mechanism

[music] is not enough. Ee usually we

have to help by drinking a lot,

then ee can't hold in her urine.

Then, if these things also fail

to treat urinary tract infections, of course,

doctors will usually prescribe

medication in the form of antibiotics. [music]

Ee may usually last for 3 to 5

days depending on the degree of infection

found from the urine test results.

Then the symptomatic medication is the administration of

medication to eliminate the

uncomfortable symptoms.

usually urinary antiseptic is also added

. That's how it is. The main prevention

for UTI is first to

drink a lot. The question is how

much should we actually

drink? Actually the recommendation is ee

above 2 litres, but this really

depends on the person's activities

. Does he sweat often

or not. The easiest parameter

for us to see the adequacy of our fluids

is to look at the color of our urine that

comes out. If the color of the urine is

clear yellow or even transparent [music], it means that you are

getting enough fluids. By

having urine that is

clear yellow [music] or even clear, it will

reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.

Then the second is not holding

urine for a long period of time.

So ee has a regular urination pattern

every 3 to 4 hours. It is

recommended if you want to prevent

urinary tract infections. Then the third

is that women are advised to

wipe in the correct direction. So we know that the

female urinary tract is located

at the front. So [music] if a

woman wants to wash herself, she has to

turn the direction of her washing, that is, from

front to back so that germs

from the

anus or defecation tract do not enter the

urinary tract. [music]

So the first aid for

people who have

urinary tract infections is that they can buy

over the counter medicines. meaning

medicines that can be freely purchased at pharmacies.

For example, the paracetamol group

or the ibuprofen group. Then the patient is

also advised to drink a lot of 2

to 3 liters a day and not to

hold urine for a

long period of time. So, if within one or

two days the EE cannot cure the

urinary tract infection or the symptoms

still persist, the patient is advised to see a

doctor directly to

get antibiotic medication.

Because we know that antibiotics

should be given based on a

doctor's prescription. The first complication that occurs due to

untreated urinary tract infections

is the occurrence of [music]

stones. stones in the urinary tract. So, the

bacteria that collect

can combine and eventually

form stones. Then

the infection can spread to the kidneys or what

we usually call pyelonephritis, which is an

infection that has reached the kidneys

and can be dangerous for the patient. So the

most serious complications are the two

mentioned above, the presence of stones and the infection rising

towards the kidneys which endangers

the patient's life. if not handled

properly.

There are no specific foods or drinks that cause urinary tract infections because these infections originate

from germs that enter the body from the outside world

. But there are

certain foods that can make the symptoms worse if a

patient has a urinary tract infection

. For example,

foods or drinks high in

caffeine. If a patient has a urinary

tract infection and consumes a

lot of caffeine, the symptoms

will worsen because they will

urinate more frequently, urinate more uncomfortable, and have

more pain, which will worsen the

symptoms of their UTI. But the connection between

caffeine and UTIs is

unrelated. Only worsens symptoms

if a urinary tract infection occurs

.

To prevent urinary tract infections

from occurring in the future, patients can be

advised to provide

adequate fluid intake, approximately drinking

2 to 3 liters of water a day.

Then sufficient physical activity,

for example regular exercise for 30 minutes a day.

then take care of the vaginal area or

pubic area so that it is not damp. And a

food that has been

researched to prevent

urinary tract infections is cranberry. It has

been researched worldwide that

people who regularly consume

cranberry juice will be prevented from urinary

tract infections.
