Lower Urinary Tract Infection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A lower urinary tract infection is an infection that affects the lower part of the urinary system, mainly the bladder (cystitis) and the urethra. It is one of the most common urinary complaints and is usually accompanied by changes when urinating.
Common symptoms: Burning when urinating, a frequent and urgent need to go to the bathroom, a sensation of not completely emptying the bladder, and sometimes discomfort in the lower abdomen.
When should you see a doctor? If the symptoms do not go away, come back frequently, or fever and lower back pain are added, a prompt evaluation is advisable.
Which specialist treats it? A general practitioner is usually the first point of contact, with support from a urologist, an internist, or a nephrologist depending on the case; an emergency physician and an infectious disease specialist step in for more delicate conditions. It is most advisable to have it checked by a professional to pinpoint the diagnosis.
