A UTI, or urinary tract infection, takes place when bacteria in the urine begin to multiply when it stays in the bladder for more than a couple of hours. Signs and symptoms of UTI include a frequent urge to urinate, a burning sensation when urinating, cloudy urine, and soreness in the lower pelvic area.
UTIs are more likely to happen to women. Antibiotics are used to treat UTIs. It is good to drink plenty of fluids and go for a pee at regular intervals, as often as possible. Poor hygiene contributes to UTIs. Make sure to wipe yourself from front to back after going to the toilet. It can save you from a UTI.
If you suspect you have a urinary tract infection, act quickly to avoid further complications. Make sure to see a doctor immediately.
