A urinary infection is a very common problem among women and can cause a lot of discomfort if not treated in time. Knowing how to identify signs of urinary infection is essential to seek medical help quickly and start the appropriate treatment. At Médico na Net, women with mild or moderate symptoms can do the whole process online, in a practical, safe and discreet way.
Burning during urination
One of the first signs is a burning sensation or pain when urinating. This burning is due to inflammation of the urethra and bladder and is a warning that there may be an infection. If this discomfort persists for more than 24 hours, it is essential to seek medical help.
Constant urinary urgency
Feeling the urge to urinate frequently, even though there isn't enough urine in the bladder, is another classic sign. This urgency can be accompanied by pain, a feeling of heaviness in the bladder or even incontinence. These are typical symptoms of early-stage urinary infection.
Cloudy urine or strong odour
Changes in the appearance of urine, such as a strong smell, dark colour or the presence of blood, are clear signs that something is wrong. These signs are common in urinary infections and should not be ignored. Observing your urine is a good indicator to act in time.
Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
Changes in the appearance of urine, such as a strong smell, dark colour or the presence of blood, are clear signs that something is wrong. These signs are common in urinary infections and should not be ignored. Observing your urine is a good indicator to act in time.
Fever or feeling unwell
In more advanced cases, the infection can progress to the kidneys. When this happens, symptoms such as fever, back pain, nausea and general malaise appear. In these cases, the patient should be seen in person. But when the symptoms are mild or moderate, online treatment is an excellent option.
"Identifying the right signs is the first step towards taking care of your intimate health comfortably and safely."
Why is urinary infection more common in women?
Urinary infections are significantly more frequent in women due to the anatomy of the female body. A woman's urethra is shorter and located closer to the anus, which makes it easier for bacteria such as Escherichia coliin the bladder.
In addition, hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy, the menopause or the menstrual cycle, can alter the vaginal flora and favour the development of infections.
This is one of the reasons why many women experience recurring episodes and look for practical solutions, such as the online treatment for urinary tract infectionto act quickly and effectively.
