UTIs

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that can occur in any part of your urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Bacteria, especially E. coli, are the main cause of this infection. It can lead to symptoms like pain while urinating, frequent urges to pee, and discomfort in your side or lower back.

What is a urinary tract infection (UTI)?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria enter your urinary system and cause an infection. Your urinary system includes your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. These parts help your body get rid of waste through your urine (pee).

In a healthy urinary system, urine flows in one direction. Start from the kidneys, through the ureters, into the bladder, and then out through the urethra. This one-way flow helps keep bacteria out. But when bacteria manage to get in and multiply, an infection can occur.

Women are more likely to get UTIs than men. While a bladder infection can be painful and uncomfortable, it's usually easy to treat with antibiotics. However, it's important to catch a UTI early, because if the infection spreads to your kidneys, it can lead to more serious health problems. If you're experiencing symptoms of a UTI, consulting our expert Urologist in Jaipur can help ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
