What does high mucus in urine routine test mean

Many people do not understand what high mucus threads in urine routine tests mean. In fact, when such test results appear, you should consider whether it is caused by a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections occur in both men and women. If it is confirmed to be the case, you need to pay attention to the correct treatment and medication, and you must drink plenty of water at ordinary times. During sexual life, you must pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, and urinate in time after sexual intercourse. This is an effective way to prevent urinary tract infections.

1. If there are high mucus threads in the urine routine, it is often considered as urinary tract infection. Take levofloxacin and Sanjin tablets, and drink more water. It is generally believed that it is a secretion produced after the urethral epithelium is stimulated. Too much may cause protein positivity. This situation generally has symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination. It can be treated with anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment such as norfloxacin capsules, norfloxacin capsules or cefuroxime axetil dispersible tablets.

2. General measures: ① Drink more water, preferably more than 2000 ml per day, and urinate every 2 to 3 hours. ② Patients who have sexual intercourse should urinate in time after sexual intercourse. If necessary, they should consult an obstetrician and gynecologist and choose an appropriate contraceptive method. ③Try to avoid the use of urinary tract instruments. ④ Cranberry juice. Experimental studies have shown that cranberry juice can prevent Escherichia coli from adhering to urothelial cells and help prevent urinary tract infections.

3. Antibiotic prevention: Antibiotic prevention can significantly reduce the chance of recurrence of urinary tract infection in women. For female patients with recurrent urinary tract infections two or more times within six months, or three or more times within one year, antibiotic treatment is recommended (Grade A). Prevention plans include continuous medication and post-coital medication, with a course of 6 to 12 months. These regimens must be used after the original urinary tract infection is cured (urine culture is negative 1 to 2 weeks after stopping the medication), and antibiotics can be selected based on previous drug sensitivity test results and the patient's drug allergy history. Compared with the continuous dosing method, the post-coital medication method is more convenient and more easily accepted by patients who have sexual intercourse. Cephalexin, ciprofloxacin, or nitrofurantoin can be taken within 2 hours after sexual intercourse.

4. Prevention for postmenopausal women: Local application of estrogen ointment in the vagina can restore the local environment of the vagina and reduce the chance of recurrence of urinary tract infection (Grade A).
