What antibiotics are good for urinary tract infection?

Urinary tract infection is a very common disease in daily life. It is generally an inflammation caused by the growth of bacteria in the urethra. Urinary tract infection will have a great impact on health and will also cause some other complications, which is very bad for the body. Antibiotics can effectively control bacteria and achieve the effect of treating urinary tract infection. You can take antibiotics in the form of soft capsules and other anti-inflammatory drugs.

Which antibiotics are best for urinary tract infection?

Western medicine for treating urinary tract infections is generally antibiotics, while Chinese medicine is generally used to treat dampness and heat in the lower abdomen. Antibiotics have significant toxic side effects, so they must be used accurately and in the smallest possible amount to achieve the treatment goal. Therefore, drug sensitivity tests must be performed to determine the choice of antibiotics and avoid drug resistance.

Antibiotics alone can kill bacteria, but they cannot cure urinary tract infections. Bacteria reproduce quickly and need to be inhibited. The bacteria will be excreted from the body with urine, so diuretic drugs are needed.

Since bacteria reproduce quickly, the therapeutic drug must be taken four times a day to keep up with the bacterial reproduction or a sustained-release drug must be used. Since urinary tract infection is an inflammatory reaction, anti-inflammatory drugs are needed. The bacteria release exotoxins, and when they are killed, they will also release endotoxins. Therefore, drugs that can remove internal and external toxins are used. Long-term antibiotic treatment will cause a decrease in immunity, and urinary tract infections are prone to recurrence, so some urinary tract infection drugs that can enhance inherent immunity are used.

Precautions

Summer is the peak season for urinary tract infections. There are many types of anti-inflammatory drugs, and it is indeed difficult to choose. However, the most expensive one is not necessarily the best. Generally, urinary tract infections in men or women are caused by decreased immunity, viral or bacterial invasion, and caution is required when choosing antibiotics. The safest way is to do a urine culture, and then choose the most sensitive antibiotic anti-inflammatory drug based on the results. However, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are still very harmful to the human body, and they should not be taken continuously for more than 15 days.

Urinary tract infections are caused by direct invasion by bacteria. Urinary tract infection is divided into upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection. Common urination abnormalities in urinary tract infection are frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating. It is recommended to carry out anti-inflammatory treatment according to the specific situation. If necessary, urine culture and drug sensitivity test can be considered, and sensitive drugs can be selected for treatment to achieve better results.

diagnosis

1. Medical history collection

(1) Clinical manifestations of urinary tract infection-related symptoms, characteristics, duration and associated symptoms;

(2) Past medical history, medication history, and related disease history to find possible causes of the disease, concomitant diseases, previous drug treatment history, and factors that may affect the development and outcome of the disease;

2. Physical examination

Includes urogenital examination; abdominal and renal examination. Pelvic and rectal examinations are helpful in identifying other concurrent diseases.

3. Auxiliary examination

(1) Laboratory tests include routine blood tests, routine urine tests, urine smear microscopic examination for bacteria, midstream urine bacterial culture + drug sensitivity, blood bacterial culture + drug sensitivity, renal function tests, etc.;

(2) Imaging examinations include ultrasound, abdominal plain film, intravenous pyelography, etc. CT or MRI examinations can be selected if necessary.
