What causes pyelonephritis

summary

At first, I had urgency and pain in urination. I thought it was caused by urinary tract infection. Later, I learned that my kidney was suffering from pyelonephritis, and urinary tract infection was the cause. Let's see what causes pyelonephritis.

What causes pyelonephritis

One of the reasons: pyelonephritis is related to bacterial infection. Such as Escherichia coli. And bacteria will infect the upper urinary tract. Because the urethra of women is shorter than that of men, they are more likely to be infected by bacteria and damage the kidney, resulting in more women than men.

The second reason: due to the occurrence of urinary tract obstruction, which leads to the occurrence of pyelonephritis. For example, we often have: urinary tract stenosis, stones, neurogenic bladder and other factors, will cause obstruction of urinary flow, reduce the local antibacterial ability, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of bacteria in the corresponding position, it is easy to induce pyelonephritis.

The third reason: sexual life, sexual life because of female urethral orifice pressure invagination, trauma or urethra is too short, the bacteria in the anterior urethra is easy to be directly squeezed into the bladder and cause infection.

matters needing attention

Low salt diet, more water, easy to digest diet, to ensure the heat. Female patients should urinate in time when they have the intention to urinate, especially after they are in the same room, which can prevent the growth of bacteria in the bladder and is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.
