What should I do if I have a urinary tract infection?

Patient's question:

It has been a month.

Doctor's answer:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common condition, and weather factors can exacerbate the symptoms. Many people are unaware of UTIs and fail to detect them promptly, leading to delayed treatment. So, what are the symptoms of a urinary tract infection? Below is a detailed explanation from relevant experts.
  (1) Abnormal Urine
UTIs can cause abnormal changes in urine, including bacteriuria, pyuria, hematuria, and gas in the urine. These are common symptoms of UTIs.
  (2) Abnormal Urination
Common urinary abnormalities in UTIs include frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria. Incontinence and urinary retention may also occur.
  (3) Back Pain
Back pain is also a symptom of UTIs. Kidney and perinephric diseases are one of the common causes of back pain. When the renal capsule, renal pelvis, or ureters are stimulated or under increased tension, pain in the lower back may be felt. Lower urinary tract infections generally do not cause back pain.
