Urinary tract infection, also known as UTI, most commonly occurs in women. Although many people may think that the infection is caused by a cold, in fact the symptoms and inflammation are caused by bacteria.
These bacteria are often found on the surface of the human body, usually enter the body through the urethra, multiply there and cause urinary tract infection, which can cause
- a stinging, burning sensation during and after urination,
- severe abdominal pain,
- frequent urge to urinate,
- difficulty in passing urine, and
- even blood in the urine..
In addition to catching cold, sharing toilets or baths, going to swimming pools and being on the beach in summer, can also promote the development of UTI. Many women experience symptoms of urinary tract infection after sexual intercourse due to the bacteria in the vagina that enter in the urinary tract, and cause inflammation. Hormonal changes associated with menopause can also be a predisposing factor of UTI.
