Urinary Tract Infection

A UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) is caused due to microbes, these organisms cannot be seen with the naked eye and therefore a microscope is used to see them. Bacteria are the major cause of UTIs but some can also be caused by fungi and very rarely by viruses. UTIs are one of the most commonly found infections in humans. These infections could sometimes be self-healing or can also lead to a lot of major problems or complications in the Urinary tract and could affect several organs that are connected to the system. The best way to know the gravity of the problem is to contact a Urologist like Dr. Saurabh Chipde -  the top Urologist in Indore.

Any part of the urinary tract can be affected by UTIs. The major parts of the urinary tract involve the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Mostly the parts of the lower tract, urethra and bladder are affected by UTIs, but some UTIs can also involve the parts of the upper tract, ureters and kidneys. Although the upper tract is affected very rarely, the infection is usually more severe.

UTI Symptoms

Untreated UTIs
