Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment
Comprehensive diagnosis and personalized urinary tract infection (UTI) treatment including acute UTI, recurrent UTI, complicated UTI, and prevention of recurrence.
What Is Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection affecting any part of the urinary system — kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. It occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract and multiply, leading to inflammation and symptoms like burning urination, frequent urination, pain, and fever.
UTIs are common in women but can also affect men, children, and elderly patients. Early diagnosis and proper treatment prevent complications like kidney infection and long-term damage.

Pain or burning sensation while passing urine.
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

Repeated urge to pass urine even when bladder is empty.
Blood in urine
Pink, red, or brown-colored urine.
Lower abdominal pain
Pain or heaviness in lower abdomen or pelvic region.
