Urinary Tract Infection in Adults
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A urinary tract infection in adults is the presence of microorganisms in the urinary system, which most frequently affects the bladder and the urethra, though at times it can travel up toward the kidneys.
Common symptoms: Burning or pain when urinating, a frequent and urgent need to do so, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
When should you seek care? If fever, lower back pain, or symptoms that do not improve appear, an evaluation without delay is advisable.
Which specialist treats it? A urologist and a general practitioner evaluate this type of infection, and in women a gynecologist can also provide guidance. In the case of persistent urinary discomfort, seeing a professional makes it possible to confirm the origin and receive the appropriate care for your case.
