Understanding urinary tract infection (uti)
A urinary tract infection, or UTI, happens when bacteria get into the bladder or urethra. Bladder infection (cystitis) is the commonest type and affects women more frequently than men.
Why urinary tract infection (uti) happens
The germs normally come from the bowel and reach the urethra. Dehydration, putting off trips to the toilet, hours in damp swimwear, heat, travel fatigue and new partners all add to the risk when you are away.
How urinary tract infection (uti) is treated
Your doctor asks about your symptoms and history, decides whether treatment such as antibiotics is appropriate, and sends an e-prescription for a local pharmacy. If a urine sample or a face-to-face check is needed, they will say so. Treatment can involve a short course of antibiotics chosen for your situation, plus pain relief and plenty of fluids.
- Pass urine regularly and do not hold it in
