About Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Causes

Urinary tract infections are usually caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract, most commonly the bladder. This can lead to inflammation and infection of the lower urinary tract.

Uncomplicated UTIs are often caused by common bacteria from the intestinal tract and occur without underlying structural or neurological problems of the urinary system.

Diagnostic

Diagnosis of an uncomplicated urinary tract infection is typically based on symptoms such as burning during urination, frequent urge to urinate, or cloudy urine.

A medical assessment helps determine whether symptoms are consistent with an uncomplicated UTI and whether antibiotic treatment is appropriate.

Treatments

Uncomplicated urinary tract infections can be treated with oral antibiotic medication.

The treatment offered is nitrofurantoin (Furabid), which works by killing the bacteria responsible for the infection in the urinary tract. It is commonly prescribed for bladder infections and is taken as a short course according to medical guidance.

Prevention

While not all urinary tract infections can be prevented, early recognition of symptoms and prompt treatment can help reduce the risk of complications.

If symptoms recur frequently, further medical evaluation may be needed to assess underlying factors.
