Causes of bladder irritation and common diseases

Urinary tract infection

Refers to urethral inflammation caused by all pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycoplasma, chlamydia, parasites, etc. Leukocyte urine is common, and pathogenic microorganisms (culture, microscopy) can be found in urine.

2. Urethral syndrome

Related to mental factors, more common in women. Mid-term urine cultures are mostly negative, excluding urinary tract irritation signs caused by organic diseases, and diagnosis of this disease can be considered.

3. Ureteral stones

Especially ureteral bladder wall stones.

4. Bladder tumor

Hematuria is often prominent.

5. Interstitial cystitis

Can be seen in connective tissue disease, more common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Those who cannot find the cause are called idiopathic interstitial cystitis.

6. Hemorrhagic cystitis

It is common in patients using cyclophosphamide (antineoplastic drugs).

7. Urinary tuberculosis

Renal tuberculosis is characterized by disease in the kidney and manifested in the bladder.

Differential diagnosis of bladder irritation

1. Frequent urination and polyuria

The former does not have much daily urination, while the latter exceeds the normal upper limit.

2. Urinary incontinence, urinary retention

Both manifested as persistent urinary drip and residual urine in the bladder (endless urine).

3. Cystitis

Acute pyelonephritis needs to be distinguished from acute cystitis. In addition to the symptoms of bladder irritation, the former also has chills, high fever and pain in the kidney area. Tuberculous cystitis develops slowly, showing chronic bladder inflammation, and does not respond well to drug treatment. Acid-fast bacilli can be found in the urine, and urography shows that the affected kidney has tuberculosis. The difference between cystitis and interstitial cystitis. The latter has clear urine, very few pus cells, no bacteria, and severe pain when the bladder is full. The suprapubic bladder area can touch the full and tender bladder. The clinical manifestation of eosinophilic cystitis is similar to that of general cystitis, except that the former has eosinophils in the urine and infiltrates the bladder mucosa. The differential diagnosis of cystitis and glandular cystitis mainly depends on cystoscopy and biopsy.

Bladder irritation

Laboratory inspection

Urine analysis often has pyuria or bacteriuria, sometimes hematuria can be found with the naked eye or hematuria can be found under the microscope. Pathogenic bacteria can be found in urine culture. If there are no other urinary diseases, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen are normal.

2.X-ray inspection

Patients suspected of having a kidney infection or other genitourinary tract abnormalities must undergo an X-ray examination. For patients with Proteus infection, if the treatment is poor or not effective at all, X-ray examination should be performed to determine whether there is urinary calculi.

3. Instrument inspection

Cystoscopy should be performed when the patient has significant bleeding, but it must be performed after the acute phase of the infection or after the infection has been adequately treated.

Bladder Irritations Treatment Principles

Urinary tract infections should be treated symptomatically and supported by pathogens such as cefazolin sodium and norfloxacin. Maintain water and electrolyte balance. All patients are encouraged to drink more water, and those who drink less water should be infused to replenish body fluids.
