Urinary Infections

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections, often causing burning and discomfort while urinating. At Sairam Hospital, we provide comprehensive care for both acute and recurrent UTIs, ensuring lasting relief and bladder health.

What are Urinary Infections?

A UTI occurs when bacteria, most often E. coli, enter and multiply within the urinary system, affecting the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. It’s more frequent in women but can affect men and children too.

What to watch for?

Symptoms include burning during urination, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, frequent urges to urinate, and lower abdominal pain. Severe infections may cause fever, chills, and back pain, indicating kidney involvement.

Diagnosis and Treatment:

Diagnosis involves urinalysis, urine culture, and ultrasound for recurrent cases. Treatment typically includes antibiotics, increased hydration, probiotics, and lifestyle guidance to prevent recurrence. For complex or repeated infections, we identify anatomical causes and offer targeted therapy.

When to see a doctor:

Visit a urologist if you experience UTI symptoms more than twice in six months, or if fever and back pain accompany urinary discomfort.
