Symptoms, Causes and Prevention of Urinary Tract Infections

PAPAKURA, New Zealand - Oct. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections in people. The infections could be bacterial, viral or even fungal. They occur when any part of the urinary tract is infected.

Made of the bladder, ureters, kidneys, and the urethra, the urinary tract could be infected involving the urethra (urethritis) or bladder (cysitis)

Warning: if the kidneys (pyelonephritis) are involved, the infection becomes life-threatening!

Causes

If the bladder is blocked from free emptying, this could cause irritation in the tract leading to an infection. Additionally, the chances of developing the infection could increase due to the following:

·         Poor bathroom hygiene- for women, you need to wipe from front to back so as to avoid drawing rectal bacteria into the urethra

·         Diabetes

·         Sexual activity- bacteria could be moved from the colon into the bladder due to increased pressure on the urinary tract during sex. Most women are known to have some bacteria in their urine after sex and at times the bacteria may stick on the bladder. The body has a mechanism to clean itself though.

·         Use of spermicides- the risk of UTI is higher in women due to irritation caused and the increased risk of bacterial entry into the bladder

·         Long-term use of bladder catheters

·         Use of condoms

·         Obstructions- when there are blockages hindering comfortable emptying of the bladder, there could be development of UTI. These blockages could be due to kidney stones, enlarged prostate, or due to some cancer.

·         Using diaphragms- women using diaphragms are known to increase the risk of developing UTI since it puts pressure on the urethra lowering the bladder emptying

Symptoms of UTIs

·         Burning while urinating

·         Feeling shaky or tired

·         Bloody urine

·         Dark-colored urine

·         High urination frequency with little, scanty amounts of urine

·         Rectal pains in men

·         Cloudy urine

·         Strong odor urine

·         Pelvic pains in women

·         Chills and fever

If you are experiencing any of the above sings of the urinary tract infections, it is important visiting a doctor. Pregnant mothers may experience more serious symptoms of the infections since they occur with high blood pressure or even unwanted early delivery.

Diagnosis

There is need for quality physical examination backed on extensive medical history so as to establish the severity of the infections- on both the upper and lower tracts. Diagnosis may require testing urine from a ‘clean catch’- from a urine stream sample- that is not contaminated. The diagnosis may require other blood tests as well.
