Urinary Tract Infection • A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary tract i.e. the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that run between them. • UTIs are given different names depending on where they occur.

Common symptoms include a strong, frequent urge to urinate and a painful and burning sensation when urinating. A UTI is usually diagnosed based on symptoms and testing of a urine sample. UTIs can be cured with 2 to 3 days of treatment. Cranberry extracts do not treat UTIs but may help reduce the risk of recurrent UTI. Source: Medical News Today

4. Risk Factors Over 50 percent of all women will experience at least one UTI during their lifetime, with 20 to 30 percent experiencing recurrent UTIs. Pregnant women are not more likely to develop a UTI than other women, but if one does occur, it is more likely to travel up to the kidneys. This is because changes in the body during pregnancy that affect the urinary tract. As a UTI in pregnancy can prove dangerous for both maternal and infant health, most pregnant women are tested for the presence of bacteria in their urine, even if there are no symptoms, and treated with antibiotics to prevent spread. People of any age and sex can develop a UTI. However, some people are more at risk than others. Source: Medical News Today

5. Prevention Steps Drink plenty of liquids to flush bacteria out of the urinary system. Wipe from the vagina to the anus after defecation to avoid spreading bacteria. Drink water before and after sex so that one will urinate a good volume with a steady stream afterwards. This will help eliminate any bacteria that may have entered. Consider using another method of birth control or a different brand of condom for your spouse if you suspect that chemical over the condom is causing irritation. Avoid tight clothing. It may irritate tissues, trap heat, and promote bacterial growth. Wear cotton underwear. Cotton is less irritating and provides more ventilation than nylon.
