Sedentary, long-term driving, drinking less, urinating and other bad habits cause more and more young people to develop urinary tract infections. Last week, the Chinese Association of Chinese Medicine and Guilin Sanjin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. jointly released the results of the "health is a gold urine sensation - public urinary tract health survey in 2009", for seven cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Surveys in and around the area have found that young people account for one-third of the cases.
Digital young people account for 1/3
Professor Zhang Wei of Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences introduced that the core content of the survey is to conduct a quantitative survey on the sex of men and women aged 18-55 years. The number of patients participating in the survey in seven cities reached more than 1,000. In the past, patients with urinary tract infections were mainly middle-aged and female, but the survey found that the proportion of young people and men has increased year by year. The survey results showed that young people (18-34 years old) accounted for 32.4% of the total number of patients, and 31.9% of patients had a primary disease below the age of 35; the current ratio of women to men was 2.5:7.5. Overall, the majority of women were women, but the comparison The ratio of male to female patients in the past statistics was 1:9 or 2:8, and the prevalence of males increased.
Affect diseases affect physical and mental health
Prof. Zhang Wei pointed out that "If urinary tract infections are not treated effectively in time, it will not only bring physical pain to the patients, but also cause psychological distress." The survey found that urinary tract infections also cause great psychological stress on patients: 100% of patients are in a very tense mood during the onset of the disease; 50% of patients are worried that urinary tract infection can cause kidney disease; 30% of women are worried about gynecological diseases .
In terms of cognition: 37.5% of patients were embarrassed when they started urinary tract infections, and 21% of men were worried about sexually transmitted diseases at the time of first onset.
"The patient should be educated to correctly understand the causes and nature of urinary tract infections and eliminate unnecessary fears." Professor Zhang Wei emphasized the importance of health education.
Preventing and rejecting bad habits
The survey found that the medication status of the patients is also worrying: 37% of patients do not take the complete course of treatment and advance drug treatment, but as a reference to whether the symptoms are reduced or eliminated. According to the survey data of doctors, the rate of return visits for urinary tract infections was as high as 51%. Prof. Zhang Wei proposed that because urinary tract infections have the characteristics of being easy to be repeated and difficult to cure, medications take a longer period, but long-term use of antibiotics is prone to drug resistance, resulting in repeated infections difficult to cure. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly to clear the heat and dampness to achieve the purpose of curing the disease, with the advantages of combination of nutrition and treatment, suitable for long-term use.
Prof. Zhang Ji reminded that we should develop good living habits to prevent urinary tract infections: maintain daily water of 2000-3000cc or more; urinate once every 2-3 hours, avoid urinating; diligently bathe and change underwear; Good habits before washing your hands; couples should pay attention to hygiene; avoid developing bad habits such as drinking, sedentary, long-term driving.
Intravenous simply means "within vein" (or "inside the vein"). Therapies administered intravenously are often included in the designation of specialty drugs. Intravenous infusions are commonly referred to as drips because many systems of administration employ a drip chamber, which prevents air from entering the blood stream (air embolism), and allows an estimation of flow rate.
Intravenous therapy may be used to correct electrolyte imbalances, to deliver medications, for blood transfusion or as fluid replacement to correct, for example, dehydration. Intravenous therapy can also be used for chemotherapy.
Compared with other routes of administration, the intravenous route is the fastest way to deliver fluids and medications throughout the body. The bioavailability of the medication is 100% in IV therapy.
Intravenous infusions are fluid solutions administered through a vein. There are numerous different types of solutions available, but they can be broken down into simple categories depending on the function they serve. Some replace lost fluids, and others provide nutrients, replace lost blood, and deliver medications.
One of the most common uses for intravenous infusions is to replenish fluids lost through dehydration. These infusions often contain normal saline solution, a combination of sterile water and sodium chloride. This solution is known as an isotonic crystalloid, or a solution that contains the same amount of electrolytes as plasma in the body. It is used in cases of moderate to severe dehydration, such as that caused by vomiting or diarrhea, when replacing the fluids quickly is vital.
When a patient`s gastrointestinal tract is compromised and nutrients cannot be absorbed - or eating can worsen the condition - intravenous infusions called total parenteral nutrition may be given. These solutions contain a mix of sterile water, electrolytes, sugar, proteins, fats, and other nutrients, depending on the needs of the patient. Diseases and disorders that commonly require total parenteral nutrition include late stages of Crohn`s disease, obstructive bowel disorder, and ulcerative colitis.
Intravenous infusions are also used to deliver medication directly to the blood stream. Certain medications, such as intravenous immunoglobulin, a type of antibody, can only be given through the vein. Other medications, such as certain narcotic pain relievers, are given intravenously because the method allows them to they work faster than when taken orally. Chemotherapy for treatment of cancer is also typically given intravenously.
When performed by a medical professional, intravenous infusions are typically safe. The most common reaction is mild pain and redness at the site of the injection, although different medications may cause different side effects. Any time the skin is punctured, there is a risk of infection. Having a medical professional, typically a nurse, monitor the Intravenous Infusion and change the injection site when irritation is evident can help prevent complications.
