What is the cause of frequent urination, weak urination, back pain?

It is likely caused by a urinary tract infection, or it may be prostatitis, but it is best to find out the cause and treat it accordingly.

How do you tell if you have a urinary tract infection?

1. Acute simple cystitis: The onset of the disease in female patients is often related to sexual life. It usually manifests as bladder irritation signs, namely frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, discomfort in the bladder area or perineum, and a burning sensation in the urethra; the degree of urinary frequency varies, and in severe cases, urge urinary incontinence may occur; the urine is turbid, there are white blood cells in the urine, terminal hematuria is common, and sometimes it is hematuria throughout the process, and even blood clots are discharged.

2. Acute pyelonephritis: symptoms of bladder irritation such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating; hematuria; low back pain on the affected side or both sides; obvious tenderness or percussion pain at the costovertebral angle on the affected side, etc. It is also accompanied by symptoms of systemic infection, such as chills, high fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc., often accompanied by increased white blood cell count and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

Why do urinary tract infections recur frequently?

1. Incomplete treatment of acute urinary tract infection: Usually, the course of antibiotics for acute cystitis is 3 to 5 days, and the course of treatment for acute pyelonephritis is 10 to 14 days. In addition, urine routine and urine culture should be rechecked one week after stopping the medication. Only two consecutive negative test results can indicate that the infection is cured. However, many patients do not take the medicine on time after the symptoms disappear, which will lead to repeated attacks of urinary tract infection.

2. The presence of underlying diseases such as diabetes, urinary system diseases, low immune function, urinary tract stones, gynecological inflammation, etc., and because the female urethra is shorter, the external sphincter is weak, and there is no physiological protective barrier, pathogenic microorganisms can easily invade through the urethral orifice and cause ascending infection.

3. Improper personal hygiene or lifestyle: If you do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, the urethral opening may be contaminated, causing acute urethritis and cystitis. In addition, the distance between the female urethral opening and the vaginal opening is only 0.5 to 1.0 cm, which is very easy to be contaminated and damaged during sexual intercourse, causing inflammation, frequent urination, urgency, pain and difficulty urinating. In addition, holding urine for a long time may also lead to urinary tract infection. At the same time, if you drink less water, your urine will decrease, resulting in a decrease in the chance of urinary tract flushing and an increased chance of infection.
