Urinary Tract Infection is a common condition where bacteria infect any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. Early treatment helps relieve symptoms quickly and prevents the infection from spreading to the kidneys.
The urinary system helps remove waste and excess fluids from the body through urine. When bacteria enter the urinary tract, they can multiply and cause infection. UTIs are common and can affect people of all ages.
If not treated early, the infection can spread to the kidneys and cause serious complications.
