Get Help for Urinary Tract Infections
What is a UTI?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection affecting the urinary system, commonly the bladder or urethra. It develops when bacteria enter the urethra and multiply in the urinary tract.
Globally, over 400 million people experience UTIs each year. Females are particularly susceptible, with one in two women experiencing a UTI in their lifetime. Symptoms include frequent urges to urinate, pain during urination, hematuria, and lower abdominal discomfort. Timely diagnosis and treatment of UTIs is essential to prevent complications.
Treatments for UTIs
UTIs are typically treated with a course of antibiotics tailored to the specific type of bacteria causing the infection. It’s essential to complete the entire prescribed course, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully eradicated. Drinking plenty of water, avoiding irritants like caffeine and alcohol, and using pain relievers can also help to alleviate symptoms.
