Medicine and Health

These are bacterial infections of the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. Common symptoms include a burning sensation when urinating and painful pressure in the lower abdomen.UTIs typically respond well to antibiotics. However, recurrent infections may require further investigation to identify any underlying causes.

UTIs are common in women because of their shorter urethras. This structure makes it easier for bacteria to travel into the bladder.To reduce your risk of a UTI, drink plentyof uids and practice good hygiene.
