Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the infection in any part of the urinary system (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). Urinary tract infections are more common in women than in men. Common UTI infections include acute pyelonephritis, cystitis, and urethritis.
UTI don’t cause symptoms always, but when they do they may include:
Persistent urge to urinate
A burning sensation when urinating
Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
Urine that appears cloudy
Strong smelling urine
Pelvic pain in women
Cystitis is the inflammation of the bladder caused by a bacterial infection. It most commonly affects women. There are two types of Cystitis:
Acute cystitis: It is a condition when the inflammation occurs suddenly.
Interstitial cystitis: It is a condition which affects multiple layers of bladder tissue.
In urethritis, the urethra or the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body gets inflamed and irritated. Urethritis causes pain while urinating and an increased urge to urinate. Urethritis is more common in women than in men.
The symptoms of urethritis are different in men and women which includes:
Symptoms in men
Burning sensation while urinating
Burning near the opening of the penis
Discharge from the penis
Presence of blood in the semen or urine
Symptoms in women
Frequent urge to urinate
Discomfort during urination
Burning sensation at the urethral opening
Abnormal discharge from the vagina
Antibiotics are used to treat UTIs depending on the type of the bacteria found. If the infection is not complicated then the doctor will recommend a shorter course of treatment like 2-3 days.
Following steps can help to ease the discomfort and pain caused by urinary tract infections:
Drink plenty of water, it will dilute the urine and flush out bacteria.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, citrus juices as they can irritate your bladder which can lead to an urge to urinate.
Apply a warm compress on the abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.
Peyronie’s disease is a non-cancerous condition that causes fibrous scar tissue that develops on the penis and causes curved, painful erections. It can prevent you from having sex or might make it difficult to maintain an erection.
Urological conditions can be both simple and complex. But whatever be its nature, it reduces the quality of life. Manipal Hospitals stand for quick recovery through the least invasive, most appropriate and advanced treatment available.
