Publisher's Synopsis
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in women and men. It is caused by bacteria that move from the urethra (urine canal) through the bladder and into the ureters (a tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder).UTI can cause fever, fatigue, and feeling stuffed up. It can also lead to a UTI infection in the bladder (cystitis) or the kidney (pyelonephritis).UTI is most common in people over 50 years old and those with a weak immune system. It is also more common in people who have had a UTI before.UTI is treated with antibiotics. If a sexually transmitted infection causes a UTI (STI), antibiotic treatment will not cure the infection. Still, it will help prevent the infection's spread to other people.UTI is a severe infection that can lead to long-term problems if not treated correctly. Anyone can get a UTI, but it is more common in people who are elderly, have a weakened immune system, or have a history of UTI. UTI is also more common in people who have sex with other peopleUrinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary tract, which is the system of organs and tissues that transports urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Infection with a UTI can cause urinary tract pain, discomfort, and a burning sensation when you urinate. If left untreated, a UTI can lead to more severe problems, such as kidney infection and even a UTI abscess. UTIs are very common, and they can occur at any age. But they are ubiquitous in women and are also more likely to occur in people with a history of UTIs. Bacteria usually cause UTIs, but viruses can also cause them. There are many ways to get a UTI.
