Understanding urinary tract infection (uti)
UTI is the name for an infection somewhere in the urinary system, typically the bladder or the urethra, and bacteria are almost always the cause. Bladder infection (cystitis) is the commonest type and affects women more commonly than men.
How urinary tract infection (uti) feels
- Burning or stinging when urinating
- Sometimes blood in the urine
- Frequent, urgent need to pass urine, often only a little
- Lower belly or pelvic discomfort
Causes and risk factors
Bowel bacteria that travel to the urethra are the usual culprit. 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.
Local tips for urinary tract infection (uti) in Uskudar
Uskudar offers endless things to see and eat, and the crowds, heat and rich food are behind most of the problems travellers meet. Close by are Bakirkoy, Buyukada (Adalar), Sariyer, which share the same medical services. Busy sightseeing days make it easy to skip drinks and delay the toilet, both of which raise the risk. Carry water.
