Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a very common health problem affecting both men and women.

While women are more prone to UTIs, men and children can also develop urinary infections due to various underlying causes.

Recurrent UTIs can be painful, uncomfortable, and may indicate deeper urological problems requiring medical attention.

A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system and multiply inside the bladder or urinary tract.

Common symptoms include burning sensation during urination, increased frequency of urination, lower abdominal discomfort, fever, foul-smelling urine, and occasionally blood in urine.

Some patients may also experience back pain if the infection spreads towards the kidneys.

Several factors can increase the risk of recurrent urinary infections including kidney stones, enlarged prostate, poor hydration, diabetes, urinary blockage, and improper bladder emptying.

In children, congenital urinary abnormalities may sometimes lead to repeated infections.

Consulting a urologist helps identify the exact cause and prevents repeated episodes through targeted treatment.

Dr. Nischith D’Souza offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for recurrent UTIs in Mangalore using advanced urological evaluation methods.

Treatment may involve medications, dietary guidance, stone removal, prostate treatment, or minimally invasive corrective procedures depending on the underlying cause.

Maintaining proper hydration, good personal hygiene, and seeking timely medical care can reduce the risk of urinary infections.

Patients experiencing repeated UTIs, fever with urinary symptoms, or persistent burning urination should seek expert urology consultation without delay.
