Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are infections caused by bacteria entering the urinary system. They can affect the bladder (cystitis), kidneys (pyelonephritis), or urethra (urethritis).
Symptoms
- Burning sensation during urination
- Frequent urge to urinate with small amounts
- Cloudy, dark, or strong-smelling urine
- Pelvic pain (in women) or rectal pain (in men)
- Fever and chills (if infection reaches kidneys)
When to See a Urologist
Recurrent UTIs (3 or more per year) or complicated UTIs require specialist evaluation. Dr. Arun Shah provides thorough diagnostic workup and targeted treatment plans.
