summary

I didn't know much about pyelonephritis before. I just knew it was a kind of disease, and I didn't know anything else. But recently, because a relative in my family suffered from this disease, I paid more attention to it. Let's talk about whether pyelonephritis can cause leg pain.

Can pyelonephritis cause leg acid

First: pyelonephritis is a common disease of urinary tract infection. Inflammation of renal pelvis, calyces and parenchyma directly caused by pathogenic bacteria infection. Urinary tract infection includes upper urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis) and lower urinary tract infection (urethritis, cystitis), the latter can exist alone, and pyelonephritis is generally accompanied by lower urinary tract infection.

Second: pyelonephritis is divided into two types: acute pyelonephritis and chronic pyelonephritis. The former is mainly characterized by fever, frequent micturition, urgency of micturition, urination pain and low back pain. Routine urination examination can detect white blood cells (pus cells) and bacteria. The latter symptom is lighter generally, can come from acute pyelonephritis protracted; or although acute pyelonephritis gets control, but come through repeated attack evolution.

Third: in normal people, there are a small amount of bacteria at 1-2 cm inside the urethral orifice, but it generally does not cause infection, because the urethral mucosa has a certain antibacterial ability; the urine can dilute the bacteria and discharge them out of the body; the urine also contains some antibacterial substances. When the body's resistance decreases or urethral mucosa is slightly damaged (such as menstruation, after sex, etc.) and urinary tract circulation is not smooth, bacteria take advantage of the situation.
