Virtually all of us have at some time experienced the discomfort of difficult urination, an infection in the urinary tract, or the presence of kidney stones. Often we start treatment when the problems become clearly troublesome, instead of trying to implement treatment at the first symptoms.
Urinary tract problems – how to recognize them?
Trouble with the proper functioning of the urinary system manifests itself in difficulty in urinating, burning during micturition, an itching sensation in the intimate area, the need for frequent and ineffective visits to the toilet, and often pain in the lower abdomen. In the case of women, so-called discharge, or vaginal discharge, is also observed as a result of a genitourinary infection.
If you are experiencing any of the above complaints, it is essential to consult observations with your doctor. It may be necessary to conduct a thorough urine test and start treatment. The cause of urinary problems, may be urinary tract infections, stones in the kidneys, or diseases in the urinary tract(such as cystitis).
Why are women more likely to suffer from urinary tract ailments?
It has been observed that women are more often burdened with urinary tract problems. This is due to the different structure of the urinary systems of men and women. In the case of women, the urethra, which is definitely shorter, is a major facilitator for the movement of bacteria towards the bladder. Its slight distance from the anus also increases the likelihood of infection. Inadequate hygiene of the intimate area, as well as sexual intercourse, during which the mucous membrane of the intimate area is irritated, is also significant. The damaged mucosa has a hindered protective effect, hence infections and accompanying genitourinary complaints become more likely.
Can urinary tract problems be prevented?
Of course, prevention is possible, and it is worth remembering that prevention is less costly and more “friendly” than the treatment itself. Among the preventive measures are:
- Frequent urination. Mainly, you need to eliminate situations of refraining from visiting the toilet. Too infrequent micturition creates a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria in the bladder.
- Do not expose intimate areas to direct contact with the toilet seat of public toilets. Always use disposable sanitary pads to protect the skin from the vast array of bacteria that populate the public toilet.
- Absolutely adhere to the principle of “wiping” in the direction from the urethra to the anus, after each passage of feces. This is a very important issue, especially for women, who, by not following the above-mentioned recommendations, increase the risk of urinary tract infections.
- Proper hygiene of intimate areas. Special intimate hygiene products, unlike ordinary soaps, are characterized by the correct pH. Maintaining the correct pH of the environment, results in an increase in the body’s protective barriers in the intimate area. When traveling, it is worth using handy and very convenient intimate hygiene wipes.
- Drinking more fluids (preferably still water). It is often suggested that you should drink beer if you suffer from the presence of stones in the kidneys. This theory is true only in terms of the diuretic effect of beer, not its alleged ability, to dissolve stones.
- The use of medications and dietary supplements that have a diuretic and protective effect on the urinary tract (e.g. medications for cystitis). It is not unimportant to distinguish between drugs and dietary supplements. This is because drugs are characterized by efficacy confirmed by numerous experimental studies. The status of a drug determines not only the effectiveness of a substance, but also its safety. Dietary supplements, on the other hand, do not need to have such numerous scientific confirmations, as a result of which they are much more easily admitted to the market.
