Warning Signs and Symptoms Of Urinary Tract Infection And How to Prevent It

A urinary tract infection, often known as a UTI, is an infection that affects any portion of your urinary system, including your kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. If you're a woman, you're more likely to have a urinary tract infection. According to some experts, your lifetime risk of developing one is as high as 1 in 2. A UTI affects about one out of every ten males at some point in their lives. Here are the signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection, as well as how to treat UTI.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections.

A UTI can cause the following symptoms:

1. When you pee, you get a burning sensation.

2. A strong desire to pee, even if only a small amount comes out when you do.

3. Pee that is cloudy, dark, bloody, or smells strange.

4. Tiredness or shakiness.

5. Chills or a fever (a sign that the infection may have reached your kidneys).

6. Back or lower abdominal pain or pressure.

Types of UTIs.

Different parts of your urinary tract might become infected. Depending on where it occurs, each type has its name.

1. Cystitis (bladder infection).

You may feel compelled to pee frequently, or peeing may cause discomfort. Lower abdomen pain, as well as murky or bloody urine, are possible symptoms.

2. Pyelonephritis (kidneys).

Fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and pain in the upper back or side are all symptoms of this condition.

3. Urethritis (urethra).

When you pee, you may experience a discharge and burning.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): What Causes Them.

Doctors advise women to wipe from front to back after using the bathroom to prevent UTIs. The anus is near to the urethra, which transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Bacteria from the large intestine, such as E. coli, can sometimes make their way into your urethra through your anus. They can then migrate up to your bladder, where they can infect your kidneys if the infection isn't treated. Women's urethras are shorter than men's. Bacteria have an easier time getting into their bladders as a result of this. Intercourse can also introduce microorganisms to the urinary tract.

How to Avoid a Urinary Tract Infection (Preventions).

You can avoid getting another UTI by following these guidelines:

1. Empty your bladder as soon as you feel the need to pee; don't rush and double-check that you've completely emptied your bladder.

2. After using the restroom, wipe from front to back.

3. Get plenty of water.
