Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections that can affect any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys. Symptoms often include a frequent and urgent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, pelvic pain, and sometimes fever. Diagnosis typically involves a urinalysis to detect bacteria and sometimes a urine culture to identify the specific type of bacteria causing the infection. Treatment usually consists of a course of antibiotics tailored to the specific bacteria involved, along with measures to alleviate symptoms such as pain and discomfort. Preventive measures include staying hydrated, practicing good hygiene, avoiding irritants to the urinary tract, and emptying the bladder completely when urinating.
