CAUSES OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION

Women are more likely than men to develop bladder and urethral infections.

Infection in bladder :It is also referred to as cystitis and is primarily brought on by the E. coli bacteria. Because female urethra openings are close to anal openings, bacteria can travel through them and cause infection, which is frequently seen in young, sexually active women.

Infection in the urethra :It is also referred to as urethritis and is primarily brought on by sexual activity, as the proximity of the urethra to the vagina makes it susceptible to other sexually transmitted conditions such as Gonorrhea, Herpes simplex, and STDs.

SYMPTOMS OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION

Following are the signs:

  • urine that is cloudy or bloody and may be offensively scented.
  • Low grade fever (fever is not a requirement for everyone).
  • burning or pain that never stops while urinating.
  • lower abdomen, occasionally the back, feels tight or pressured.

Even after the bladder has been emptied, there is a persistent and strong urge to urinate.

DIAGNOSIS & TEST OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION

To conduct the following tests, a urine sample is typically obtained:

  • Most of the time, your doctor or nurse can identify an infection using a urinalysis. Urinalysis: urine is examined to look for white blood cells, red blood cells, bacteria, and to test for specific chemicals, such as nitrites in the urine.
  • The bacteria in the urine can be identified through urine culture.
  • CBC (Complete blood count)
  • Blood culture

COMPLICATION OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION

  • Young people, very old adults, and people with low immunity (due, for instance, to HIV infection or cancer chemotherapy) are at higher risk of developing sepsis (blood infection).
  • Kidney damage or scarring
  • Kidney infection
