URINARY TRACT INFECTION: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, DIAGNOSIS AND IT’S MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of your urinary system - kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra. Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than men are. Infection limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to your kidneys. Antibiotics are the typical treatment for a UTI. But you can take steps to reduce your chance of getting a UTI in the first place. Antibacterial agents are a major part of the treatment for UTI. Due to the side effects associated with antibiotic and drug resistance a need for an alternative therapy is emphasised. A major error in management of UTI has been that most clinicians give too many drugs for too longer period.
