URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

UTI are bacterial infections in the bladder that cause a burning sensation when urinating and often lead to urinary urgency.

UTI OCCURS

A urinary tract infection occurs in any part of the urinary system, such as the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Usually, infections occur in the lower urinary tract and affect the bladder and the urethra.

TYPES OF UTIS

There are several different types of UTIs including bladder infections, kidney infections, and urethritis.

CAUSES OF UTIS

multiple sclerosis kidney stones stroke spinal cord injury

RISK FACTOR S

Sexually active women are more prone to UTIs than who aren't.

The decline in estrogen after menopause causes changes in the urinary tract and make more susceptible to infection. Those born with urinary tract abnormalities have an increased risk of UTIs.

Kidney stones or an enlarged prostate increases the risk. Few diseases can suppress the immune system and enhances the risk of UTIs.
