URINARY TRACT INFECTION TREATMENT
A urinary tract infection, commonly known as a UTI, can affect different parts of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra and kidneys. Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the infection.
Common symptoms include:
- Burning sensation while urinating
- Frequent urge to pass urine
- Lower abdominal discomfort
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Blood in the urine
- Fever or chills in some cases
Some patients may experience recurrent urinary infections. Repeated infections require proper evaluation to identify whether there is an underlying cause such as urinary obstruction, kidney stones, incomplete bladder emptying or another urological condition.
Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and management guidance for patients with urinary infections and recurrent urinary symptoms.
Treatment depends on the patient's symptoms, medical history and investigation findings. Patients may be advised appropriate tests to identify the cause and guide treatment.
