Urinary Tract Infections

What Are Urinary Tract Infections?

A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system and multiply. UTIs are extremely common and can affect the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. While a single UTI is usually straightforward to treat, recurrent infections require proper investigation to identify the underlying cause and prevent further episodes.
