Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections, affecting millions each year—especially women. While many cases can be treated with simple medications, recurring or severe UTIs may need specialized care from a urologist.
At Morya Multispeciality Hospital in Wadgaon Budruk, Pune, our experienced team of urologists provides advanced diagnosis and treatment options for UTIs to help you recover quickly and prevent complications.
What Is a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)?
A UTI occurs when bacteria, most commonly E. coli, enter and multiply in the urinary system, which includes the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys.
Types of UTIs:
- Cystitis (Bladder infection): The most common type, with symptoms like burning urination and frequent urges.
- Urethritis: Infection of the urethra.
- Pyelonephritis: A more serious infection that reaches the kidneys and may require urgent care.
Common Symptoms of a UTI
If you notice any of the following, you may be dealing with a UTI:
- Burning sensation during urination
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- Blood in the urine
- Fever and chills (may indicate kidney infection)
Note: UTIs can be more severe in older adults or individuals with diabetes, kidney disorders, or weakened immunity.
Causes and Risk Factors
UTIs can affect anyone but are more common in:
- Women: Due to shorter urethras
