Urinary tract infection: a common cause of urinary discomfort
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system. It is a common condition, especially in women due to anatomical reasons, and usually has a favorable outcome with the appropriate treatment.
Common symptoms of a urinary tract infection:
– Burning or discomfort when urinating
– Increased urinary frequency
– Urgent need to urinate
– Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
– Discomfort in the lower abdomen
Usually, the symptoms appear suddenly and improve within a few days after starting the treatment prescribed by the doctor, which in most cases consists of antibiotics.
