Is it serious if the urine test shows more than 200 bacteria?

Modern people's lifestyles are generally irregular. Many people are used to staying up late playing with their mobile phones. They usually go to bed after 12 o'clock in the evening. In addition, they do not exercise regularly, so many people's bodies are in sub-healthy state. Therefore, more and more people are finding that the bacterial count is over 200 when doing routine urine tests. A bacterial count of over 200 is a sign of unhealthy health. So, is it serious if the urine test shows more than 200 bacteria?

Urinalysis showed that there were more than 200 bacteria in the urine, which was considered to be a bacterial urinary tract infection. In addition, local bacteria and secretions of the vulva could also infect the urine, causing an increase in the bacterial count in the urine routine test. This could also be caused by unhygienic sexual life and other reasons. Patients are advised to visit the urology department and use cephalosporin or quinolone antibiotics for treatment under the guidance of a physician. In daily life, they should pay attention to a light diet, quit smoking and drinking, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and pay attention to personal hygiene before and after sexual intercourse.

For urinary tract infection, first check the urethral secretions by ultrasound to clearly diagnose the bacteria. Choose sensitive antibiotics, sufficient doses, and treatment courses. It is best to have intravenous infusion, drink more water, urinate more, be sure to disinfect the underwear, and it is best to isolate the family members. If the treatment is not thorough, it is likely to relapse. At present, mycoplasma culture + ultra-high power microscopy is the most direct method. Patients can take azithromycin, levofloxacin, or receive intravenous drip. During the medication period, pay attention to rechecking liver and kidney function. If the urine test shows more than 200 bacteria in both husband and wife, they need to be treated together. Use condoms during sex during treatment. Keep private parts clean and dry during normal times, and change underwear once a day.

If the bacterial count in the urine is over 200, it may be caused by pyelonephritis. It is recommended to take some antibiotics to control the infection. Drink plenty of water and do a bacterial culture if necessary.
