UTIs are common infections that happen when bacteria, often from the skin or rectum, enter the urethra, and infect the urinary tract. The infections can affect several parts of the urinary tract, but the most common type is a bladder infection (cystitis).

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is another type of UTI. They’re less common, but more serious than bladder infections.

    Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection that affects the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. The symptoms of UTI can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the part of the urinary system that is affected. Here are some common signs and symptoms of UTI:

    – A strong, persistent urge to urinate
    – A burning sensation when urinating
    – Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
    – Cloudy, dark, or strong-smelling urine
    – Blood in the urine
    – Pain or pressure in the lower abdomen or back
    – Feeling tired or shaky

    UTIs can be diagnosed by analyzing a patient’s urine sample. The two most common tests to detect UTIs are a urinalysis and a urine culture with antimicrobial susceptibility testing:

    1. Urinalysis: A urinalysis is a group of physical, chemical, and microscopic tests on a sample of urine. These tests look for evidence of infection, such as bacteria and white blood cells.

    2. Urine culture: This is a test that detects and identifies specific bacteria and yeast in a patient’s urine that may be causing a UTI. Urine cultures can also help doctors determine the best antibiotic for treating a UTI.

    3. Susceptibility testing: Susceptibility testing measures how sensitive the bacteria is to an antibiotic or antifungal drug. This helps doctors determine which treatment is most appropriate.

    There are many germs that can cause urine infections or cystitis: 1. Escherichia coli (E.coli). E.coli can easily spread to the urethra and stick to the lining of your urinary system. 2. Mycoplasma. 3. Chlamydia.

    Women get UTIs up to 30 times more often than men do. Also, as many as 4 in 10 women who get a UTI will get at least one more within six months.

    Women get UTIs more often because a woman’s urethra (the tube from the bladder to where the urine comes out of the body) is shorter than a man’s. This makes it easier for bacteria to get into the bladder. A woman’s urethral opening is also closer to both the vagina and the anus, the main source of germs such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) that cause UTIs.

    Others facts:
    1. Are sexually active. Sexual activity can move germs that cause UTIs from other areas, such as the vagina, to the urethra.

    2. Use a diaphragm for birth control or use spermicides (creams that kill sperm) with a diaphragm or with condoms. Spermicides can kill good bacteria that protect you from UTIs.

    3. pregnant. Pregnancy hormones can change the bacteria in the urinary tract, making UTIs more likely. Also, many pregnant women have trouble completely emptying the bladder, because the uterus (womb) with the developing baby sits on top of the bladder during pregnancy. Leftover urine with bacteria in it can cause a UTI.

    4. Have gone through menopause. After menopause, loss of the hormone estrogen causes vaginal tissue to become thin and dry. This can make it easier for harmful bacteria to grow and cause a UTI.

    5. Have diabetes, which can lower your immune (defense) system and cause nerve damage that makes it hard to completely empty your bladder
    Have any condition, like a kidney stone, that may block the flow of urine between your kidneys and bladder.

    7. Have or recently had a catheter in place. A catheter is a thin tube put through the urethra into the bladder. Catheters drain urine when you cannot pass urine on your own, such as during surgery.

    Causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs)
    Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract.

    The bacteria enter through the tube that carries pee out of the body (urethra).

    Women have a shorter urethra than men. This means bacteria are more likely to reach the bladder or kidneys and cause an infection.

    Things that increase the risk of bacteria getting into the bladder include:

    having sex
    pregnancy
    conditions that block the urinary tract – such as  kidney stones
    conditions that make it difficult to fully empty the bladder – such as an  enlarged prostate in men and constipation in children
    urinary catheters (a tube in your bladder used to drain urine)
    having a weakened immune system – for example, people with diabetes or people having chemotherapy
    not drinking enough fluids
    not keeping the genital area clean and dry
