UTI or urinary tract infection is a common condition that affects both men and women. When you have a UTI, bacteria in your urinary system causes inflammation and pain. The symptoms of UTI can vary from person to person, but some common symptoms include:
1. Pain or burning sensation during urination
2. Frequent urination
3. Urgent need to urinate
4. Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
5. Lower abdominal or back pain
6. Fever and chills (in severe cases)
To treat UTI, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics that help kill the bacteria causing the infection. It is important to take the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to ensure that the infection is completely eradicated. In addition to antibiotics, you can also follow these tips to help prevent UTIs from occurring:
1. Drink plenty of water to help flush bacteria out of your urinary system
2. Practice good hygiene, especially after sexual activity
3. Urinate before and after sexual activity to help flush bacteria out of your urinary system
4. Use mild soap and warm water to clean your genital area and anus, and avoid using sprays, powders, or douches that can irritate the urinary tract
5. Avoid holding your urine for long periods of time as this can increase your risk of developing UTI.
