Speaking of the most common diseases, the first thing you think of is, however, for women, a cold may go back.According to the World Health Organization's investigation report, for adult women, the most common disease is not a cold, but a urinary tract infection and genital tract infection.Research data show that the incidence of urinary tract infections in adult women is higher than that of men's 8 & mdash; 10 times, and the probability of diseases related to this genital tract infection reached 61%.
Seven reasons are the most common
So why are women prone to urinary tract infections, and there are common causes to increase their risk of illness?The National Female Health Information Center lists seven "scourge" of urinary tract infections for female friends:
1. After unlocking your hands, wipe it with toilet paper from the back.Women have unique physiological characteristics. The urethral mouth is close to the anus. The length of the urethra is only 3 & mdash; 5 cm, straight and wide, and the urethral sphincter effect is weak.The incorrect wiping method after solving hands can greatly increase the risk of urethral pollution.Coupled with the rich sweat glands of women, it is easy to make the vulva minister humid for a while and bacteria have entered.
2. Frequent sexual life or not paying attention to hygiene.Women's urinary tract infection caused by sexual life is more common, especially the incidence of newlywed women is very high. A survey from Taiwan shows that about a quarter of women have had "honeymoon cystitis".
3, urination time is too long.During urination, urine has a scouring effect on the urethra. If it is not urinating for a long time, the reduction of the risk of bacteria will increase the risk of bacteria in the urethra.In addition, due to the short urethra, urinary urination can easily cause upper urinary tract bacterial infections, which may even cause pyelonephritis.Some research surveys have shown that the incidence of urinary tract infection is 12 times higher than those who are not allowed to urinary flow.
4. Patients with diabetes.Diabetes patients with endocrine disorders and body resistance decreases, and the risk of multiple infections will increase.Among them, urinary tract infections are very common, reaching 16%& mdash; 35%.It is worth noting that patients with diabetes are often accompanied by nerve damage and the sensitivity to infection decreases, which makes 10%& mdash; 20%diabetic urinary tract infection does not feel symptoms and only manifested as bacterial urine.
5. Those with urinary tract obstruction.Ureutal and kidney stones, urethral stenosis, etc. can cause urine retention, making bacteria prone to breeding and infection.
6. Decrease estrogen level, such as after menopause.Decreased secretion of estrogen secretion in the elderly, resulting in changes in vaginal and urethral atrophy, making them more likely to have difficulty urination, urgency and urinary tract infections.
7. I have recently done urethral intubation and equipment inspection.Urine conduction, cystoscope examination, urinary tract surgery and other can damage the mucous membrane, and bring the pathogenic bacteria of the anterior urethra into the bladder or upper urinary tract to cause infection.According to statistics, the incidence of persistent bacterial urine after one urination is 1%& mdash; 2%.
