Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections affecting the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, and kidneys. Symptoms may include frequent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, pelvic pain, and fever. UTIs are typically caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra. Factors such as sexual activity, use of certain contraceptives, and conditions like diabetes can increase the risk of UTIs. Treatment often involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria causing the infection. Drinking plenty of water and practicing good hygiene can help prevent UTIs. For additional information, click here.
