summary

My husband's health has not been very good, so there are often some symptoms. After we saw the traditional Chinese medicine, the doctor said it was because of poor physical fitness and also suffering from pyelonephritis. To take drugs on time to control the disease, next I will tell you what is pyelonephritis?

What disease is pyelonephritis

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, the most important thing in the treatment of pyelonephritis is to choose effective antibiotics. In general, most patients with acute pyelonephritis can be cured quickly, while it is relatively difficult for chronic patients to be cured. In normal people, there are a small amount of bacteria at 1-2 cm in the urethral orifice, but it generally does not cause infection, because the urethral mucosa has certain antibacterial ability; the urine can dilute the bacteria and discharge them out of the body; the urine also contains some antibacterial substances.

When patients feel sick, they must go to the hospital as soon as possible for relevant examination.
