There are two types of urinary tract infections; cystitis and pyelonephritis. Infection of the urinary tract are most often caused by bacteria. Bacteria is normally removed from the urinary system quickly, however it can overcome the bodies natural defense. Escherichia Coli (E-Coli) bacteria is the cause of most urinary tract infections. Infections can also occur when there is structural abnormality of the urinary tract. Urine should flow away from the kidneys, anomaly’s like kidney stones or enlarged prostate decreases the flow of urine which can cause back flow. Acute Cystitis Cystitis is an uncomplicated urinary tract infections of the bladder or lower urinary tract. This infection occurs when bacteria enters the urethra and then the bladder. Acute cystitis is more common in women because the urethra is shorter and close to the anus. Infection of women most likely occur after sexual intercourse. Cystitis symptoms include cloudy or bloody urine, pain and burning with urination, abdominal discomfort, low back pain, fever, and the strong need to urinate after emptying bladder. In elderly individuals confusion or mental status changes are the only symptoms of a possible urinary tract infection. Pyelonepheritis Pyelonepheritis is the infection of one or both kidneys. This is caused by bacteria or viruses that infects the kidneys, e-coli is often the cause. Individuals with chronic urinary tract infections and structural or anatomic problems of the urinary tract develops pyelonepheritis. Urine should flow away from the kidney’s into the bladder. When the flow is blocked urine remains in the kidney causing an infection to occur. Blockages like structural defects, enlarged prostate, or kidney stones effects urine flow and can lead to vesicoureteral reflux. Pyelonephritis symptoms include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. Pain in the groin, back, or side and frequent urination with pain. Diagnosing and Treatments Urinary tract infections are diagnosed by obtaining a urinalysis. A urinalysis detects red blood cells and white blood cells in the urine. The presence of white blood cells indicate an infection. Urine cultures are done to identify what bacteria is causing the infection. This is important for treating urinary tract infections as some bacteria are not susceptible to some antibiotics. Oral antibiotics are given to treat the infection and stop it from getting into the kidneys. In severe cases of urinary tract infections antibiotics may have to be given intravenously and may require hospitalization. Treatment should always be completed, if not there is a risk for recurrent infections. Prevention Infection can be prevented by changing daily habits. Drink plenty of water six to eight 8 oz glasses of water a day, only if you don’t have kidney function problems. Water helps to flush bacteria from the urinary system. Urinate often or when you first feel the urge and after sexual intercourse. For women its important to wipe front to back, this prevents bacteria from the rectum getting into the urethra. Wear cotton underwear and loose fit clothing. Loose clothing allows air to circulate and keep area around the urethra dry. Prevention is the best treatment so take steps to prevent developing a urinary tract infection. Best Health Wishes FHD

Filter by:Ukloni sve U zdravih ljudi mokraća u mokraćnom mjehuru je sterilna: u njoj nema bakterija niti drugih uzročnika bolesti. Mokraćna cijev, kanal kojim se mokraća izvodi iz mokraćnog mjehura izvan tijela, ne sadrži uzročnika bolesti ili ih sadrži premalo da bi izazvali infekciju. Međutim, svaki dio mokraćnog sustava može se inficirati. Ove infekcije se obično dijele na infekcije donjeg i gornjeg mokraćnog sustava; donji se odnosi na infekcije mokraćne cijevi ili mjehura a gornji na infekcije bubrega ili mokraćovoda. Mokraćni sustav (bubrezi, mokraćovodi, mokraćni mjehur i mokraćna cijev) mogu biti ozlijeđeni probodnim ranama, tupom silom, liječenjem zračenjem ili kirurškim zahvatom. Začepljenje bilo gdje unutar mokraćnog sustava―od bubrega, gdje se mokraća stvara, do mokraćne cijevi, kroz koju mokraća izlazi iz tijela―može povećati tlak unutar mokraćnog sustava i usporiti protok mokraće. Začepljenje mokraćnog sustava može također dovesti do infekcija mokraćnog sustava, stvaranja kamenaca i smanjenog rada bubrega. Infekcija se može razviti jer bakterije, koje ulaze u mokraćni sustav ne budu isprane iz njega van kada je mokraćni sustav začepljen.
