    If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene, especially the hygiene of your private parts, it is easy to get diseases in your private parts. Many men in daily life do not pay much attention to hygiene and do not change their underwear frequently. As a result, they suffer from urinary tract infections, which has a great impact on their daily life and work. Men can usually judge whether they have a urinary tract infection by the symptoms that appear after a urinary tract infection.

    What are the symptoms of urinary tract infection in men?

    First of all, the most common thing is abnormal urination. In general, common urinary abnormalities in male urinary tract infections are frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Urinary incontinence and urinary retention can also be seen. Chronic renal failure caused by chronic pyelonephritis may result in polyuria in the early stage and oliguria or anuria in the later stage. Followed by urine abnormalities. The most serious harm of urinary tract infection is that it can cause abnormal changes in urine. Common ones include bacteriuria, pyuria, hematuria and pneumouria.

    Thirdly, men with urinary tract infection may also experience symptoms of lower back pain. When the kidney capsule, renal pelvis, and ureter are stimulated or the tension is increased, it can cause pain in the waist. Lower urinary tract infection generally does not cause waist pain. Kidney and perirenal inflammation, such as renal abscess, perirenal inflammation, perirenal abscess, and acute pyelonephritis, often cause severe and sustained pain in the waist. Low back pain caused by chronic pyelonephritis is often sore.

    How to prevent male urinary tract infection

    Drinking plenty of water every day, urine plays a flushing role in the bladder and urethra, which is conducive to the excretion of bacteria. Drinking a lot of water every day and urinating every 2 to 3 hours can avoid the reproduction of bacteria in the urinary tract and reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. This is the most practical and effective way to prevent urinary tract infections. During the onset or remission stage of a disease, drinking a lot of water every day is beneficial to the recovery of the disease and can also play a certain preventive role.

    Avoid irritation from tobacco and alcohol. According to relevant clinical surveys, among patients with urinary tract infections, smokers and drinkers have a significantly higher chance of suffering from urinary tract infection than non-smokers and drinkers. Moreover, patients who smoke and drink have a relatively higher chance of recurrence after treatment. Clinical studies have shown that alcohol and nicotine can stimulate latent pathogens, and tobacco and alcohol can induce latent pathogenic bacteria to multiply, resulting in clinical symptoms of urinary tract infection or recurrence.

    Prevention can effectively reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. The human body has many defense mechanisms against urinary tract infections, as well as many susceptible factors. We must make full use of the human body's prevention mechanisms to prevent and treat urinary tract infections. Paying attention to personal hygiene, especially the hygiene of the lower body, is one of the important means to prevent and treat urinary tract infections.
