What is a Urinary Tract
What is a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and why is it more common in women?
What differentiates a lower UTI from an upper UTI?
What is the primary bacterium responsible for UTIs, and what are some common risk factors?
How are UTIs diagnosed and what is considered the gold standard of diagnosis?
What are the first and second line treatments for UTIs, and how long does a typical course of treatment last?
Important Highlights:
UTIs affect approximately 50% of women at least once in their lives due to anatomical differences, such as a shorter urethra.
Lower UTIs (affecting the bladder or urethra) are more common, accounting for about 90% of UTIs, but upper UTIs (affecting the kidneys) can pose more severe health risks.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is responsible for approximately 90% of UTI cases, with risk factors including sexual activity, menopause, urinary tract abnormalities, a suppressed immune system, and poor personal hygiene.
Diagnosis of UTIs typically involves a combination of symptom assessment and urinalysis, but a urine culture is considered the gold standard for diagnosis.
Treatment usually involves antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), and fosfomycin, with treatment duration ranging from three days for uncomplicated UTIs to up to 14 days for complicated ones.
