Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) stands for urinary tract infection, which is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra.

Symptoms of a UTI may include a frequent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, pelvic pain or pressure, and fever or chills.

Treatment for UTI often involves a course of antibiotics to kill the bacteria causing the infection. The specific antibiotic prescribed will depend on the type of bacteria and the severity of the infection. Pain relievers may also be prescribed to manage any discomfort.

Drinking plenty of water and emptying the bladder frequently can help to flush out the bacteria. Avoiding irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods can also help to reduce symptoms.

Proper hygiene, including wiping from front to back after using the bathroom, urinating after intercourse to flush out any bacteria, and wearing breathable cotton underwear, can also help prevent UTIs.

Untreated UTIs can lead to serious complications such as kidney infection, sepsis, and premature birth in pregnant women. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider if any symptoms of a UTI are present.
