Cystitis / Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections that affect the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. They are usually caused by *E. coli* bacteria entering the urinary tract, often due to poor hygiene, sexual activity, or holding urine for too long. Symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, frequent urge to urinate, and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. Women are more prone to UTIs due to their shorter urethra. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and drinking plenty of water can help flush out the bacteria.
