🩺 Introduction
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infections affecting both men and women. While they may seem minor at first, untreated UTIs can lead to serious complications, including kidney infections.
At EliteCare Urology Hospital, Abakaliki, we provide fast diagnosis and effective treatment to help patients recover quickly and prevent recurrence.
🔍 What Is a UTI?
A UTI occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system — which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra — and cause infection.
Most infections affect the bladder and urethra, but severe cases can spread to the kidneys.
⚠️ Common Causes of UTIs
UTIs are usually caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Risk factors include:
- Poor hygiene practices
- Holding urine for too long
- Dehydration
- Sexual activity
- Weakened immune system
- Use of catheters
🚨 Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection

- Frequent urge to urinate
