Symptoms of UTI :
- a strong persistent urge to urinate

- a burning sensation when urinating
- blood in the urine (hematuria) or strong-
  smelling, cloudy urine
- frequent small amounts of urine

Risk factors:
- Sex: Up to one in five women will develop a   bladder infection over a lifetime. A key reason is their anatomy. Women have a shorter urethra than men have, which cuts down on the distance bacteria must travel to reach the bladder.
- Anything that impedes the flow of urine (for   example stones, if urine flows back from  bladder to kidneys etc.)

- Diabetes or other chronic illnesses

- Pregnancy
- Sexual activity

Therapy:
- lots of hydration
- Antibiotics:
norfloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin
nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole

Symptoms should clear up within
5 days. Take the entire course of antibiotics recommended by your doctor to ensure that the infection is completely eradicated
