Urinary infections, often referred to as urinary tract infections (UTIs), occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract. These infections can affect various parts of the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, and urethra. Symptoms often include a strong urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy urine, and pelvic pain. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications. Common treatments involve antibiotics and drinking plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria. Understanding urinary infections is key to managing and preventing them effectively.
