Urinary Tract Infections
UTIs are infections that can occur in any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, and kidneys. The urinary system is responsible for filtering waste and excess fluid from the body through urine. Infection in the bladder is called cystitis, in the urethra it's called urethritis, and in the kidneys it's known as pyelonephritis. UTIs left untreated can lead to serious kidney infections.
Pregnant individuals should especially seek medical attention for even mild UTI symptoms.
If symptoms indicate a kidney infection, such as fever, back pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting, immediate medical attention is crucial.
