Urinary Tract Infection

A urinary tract infection is the presence of microorganisms in the urinary system, which can affect the urethra, the bladder, or, in more advanced cases, the kidneys. It is one of the most common infections, especially in women.

Common symptoms:

• Burning or pain when urinating
• Frequent and urgent need to go to the bathroom
• Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
• Discomfort in the lower abdomen

When to see a doctor? If fever, lower back pain, or discomfort that does not improve appears, it is best not to put off the visit.

The OB-GYN can treat these infections in the context of women's health and provide guidance on follow-up. When urinary symptoms are bothersome or recurring, the most advisable thing is to have them evaluated by a professional.
