Is frequent urination at night caused by kidney yin deficiency? Five points to tell you

Urethritis is a common urinary tract infection, which is mainly divided into two types: gonococcal urethritis and non-gonococcal urethritis. Since most symptoms of urethritis do not affect normal life, people feel that urethritis is a minor problem, but over time, it becomes chronic urethritis.

1. Abnormal urination: Common abnormal urination symptoms of urethritis are frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Urinary incontinence and urinary retention may also be seen. In the early stage of chronic renal failure caused by chronic pyelonephritis, there may be polyuria, and in the later stage, there may be oliguria or anuria.

2. Abnormal urine: Urethritis can cause abnormal changes in urine, the most common of which are bacteriuria, pyuria, hematuria and pneumaturia.

3. Lower back pain: When inflammation infects the renal capsule, renal pelvis, and ureter, it can cause pain in the lower back, often presenting as persistent severe pain. Chronic pyelonephritis often manifests as lower back pain, while lower urethritis rarely causes lower back pain.

4. Lead to chronic renal failure

The biggest feature of urethritis is that it can easily become chronic, and in severe cases it can cause chronic renal failure. According to the latest statistics, 25% of chronic renal failure patients are caused by urethritis.

5. Cause urethral stenosis and urination difficulties

Because urethritis can directly affect the epithelium of the urethra, scars are formed at the infected site, and in severe cases, urethral stenosis can be caused, making it difficult for the patient to urinate.
