What are urinary tract infections (UTIs)?

• UTIs are commonly occurring infections that occur when the bacteria, quite often from the skin or rectum, enter the urethra and infect the urinary tract.
• The infection may occur in any part of the urinary system i.e. the kidneys, bladder and the urethra.
• These infections are commonly occurring in women.
• The symptoms include pelvic pain, strong urge to urinate, pain with urination, cloudy urine and blood in the urine.
• To prevent UTIs, drink plenty of water, empty your bladder soon after intercourse, drink cranberry juice and avoid irritating feminine products.
• The easiest way to prevent UTIs is to flush the bacteria immediately out of the urinary tract before it starts to grow there. Therefore, drink lots of water.
