Description

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. UTIs are a common medical condition, and they can occur in both men and women, although they are more prevalent in women. UTIs can range from mild to severe and may require medical treatment.Causes: UTIs are most commonly caused by bacteria, with Escherichia coli (E. coli) being the most frequent culprit. Bacteria can enter the urinary tract through the urethra and then multiply, leading to an infection. Symptoms: Common symptoms of a UTI include a frequent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or bloody urine, strong-smelling urine, lower abdominal pain, and a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. In more severe cases, a UTI can lead to fever and kidney infection symptoms.
