UTIs are incredibly common, especially among women, but they affect everyone and can lead to serious issues if ignored. In my practice at UrologyTNT, I treat UTIs daily and often debunk myths that delay care. Here’s a straightforward guide to understanding and managing them.

UTI Basics
A UTI occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract, causing infection in the bladder (cystitis) or kidneys (pyelonephritis). Risk factors include:

Sexual activity.
Poor hygiene or holding urine too long.
Conditions like diabetes or prostate issues in men.

Busting Common Myths

Myth: Cranberry juice cures UTIs. Fact: It may prevent them but won’t treat an active infection—antibiotics are needed.
Myth: Only women get UTIs. Fact: Men can too, often linked to prostate enlargement.
Myth: It’s just discomfort—wait it out. Fact: Untreated UTIs can spread to kidneys, causing permanent damage.

Symptoms and Red Flags
Burning during urination, urgency, cloudy urine, or fever. Seek immediate care if you have back pain, high fever, or chills—these signal a kidney infection.
