Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are responsible for over eight million visits to healthcare providers every year. Initially, infections tend to be mild, but they can turn into severe health concerns without treatment. If you are exhibiting the symptoms of a UTI, the team at MedForce Mobile can deliver the ideal solution.
what is a urinary tract infection?
A UTI is an infection that affects any part of the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Because women’s urethras are shorter than men’s, they are more likely to develop UTIs.
what are the symptoms of a UTI?
UTIs often develop without symptoms for several days. When symptoms do appear, they can look like this:
Burning feeling when urinating
Cloudy urine
Urge to urinate that does not dissipate
symptoms depend on the affected area
UTIs can manifest differently depending on which part of the urinary tract is affected. Below are some of the common signs of infection associated with different parts of the urinary tract:
Urethra
Burning sensation while urinating
Discharge
Bladder
Discomfort and pressure in the pelvic area
Painful and frequent urination
Traces of blood in the urine
Kidneys
Fever
Nausea and vomiting
Body aches, shaking, and chills
are UTIs Dangerous?
Most UTIs are not particularly dangerous at first. However, if the infection is allowed to progress, it can reach the kidneys and lead to serious complications like kidney damage and sepsis, which can be life-threatening.
