A urinary infection, also called cystitis, is an infection that can affect any part of the urinary system
Urinary Infection
The three types of urinary infections
Infectious Cystitis
Bacterial inflammation of the bladder, the most common form of urinary infection in women
Infectious Urethritis
Infection of the urethra, often associated with sexually transmitted infections
Pyelonephritis
Kidney inflammation, a more serious condition requiring immediate medical attention
Common symptoms of a urinary infection
- • Pain or burning during urination
- • Frequent need to urinate
- • Urgent and persistent need to urinate
- • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- • Feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen
- • Presence of blood in the urine
When to consult?
If the infection is not treated, bacteria continue to multiply and invade the urinary tract. This can lead to a more serious kidney problem, such as pyelonephritis.
You should consult if you have symptoms that resemble a urinary infection.
