Urinary tract infections Presented by/ Mohammed A.zoghbour
Slide 2-

UTIs A urinary tract infection is caused by micro-organisms, usually a bacteria called Escherichia coli (E. coli). The urethra, bladder, vagina or kidneys can be affected. Even though urinary tract infections are very common, treatment with antibiotics may be needed, so seek advice from your doctor.
Slide 3-

Types of UTIs urethritis – infection of the urethra cystitis – infection of the bladder pyelonephritis – infection of the kidneys vaginitis – infection of the vagina.
Slide 4-

Symptoms wanting to urinate more often and urgently, if only a few drops burning pain or a ‘scalding’ sensation when urinating a feeling that the bladder is still full after urinating pain above the pubic bone cloudy, bloody or very smelly urine.
Slide 5-

Causes When bacteria enter the urinary tract and multiply, they can cause a UTI. To infect the urinary system, a micro-organism usually has to enter through the urethra or, rarely, through the bloodstream. The most common bacterium to cause UTIs is Escherichia coli (E. coli). It is usually spread to the urethra from the anus. Other micro-organisms, such as mycoplasma and chlamydia, can cause urethritis in both men and women. These micro-organisms are sexually transmitted so, when these infections are detected, both partners need medical treatment to avoid re-infection.
Slide 6-

Risk factors women – sexually active women are vulnerable, in part because the urethra is only four centimetres long and bacteria have only this short distance to travel from the outside to the inside of the bladder people with urinary catheters – such as people who are critically ill, who can’t empty their own bladder people with diabetes – changes to the immune system make a person with diabetes more vulnerable to infection men with prostate problems – such as an enlarged prostate gland that can cause the bladder to only partially empty babies – especially those born with physical problems (congenital abnormalities) of the urinary system.
