Overview
What is Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)?
A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infection that can affect any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys. Left untreated can cause discomfort, pain, and serious complications. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for preventing recurrent infections and kidney-related complications.
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, recognized as the best hospital for urinary tract infection treatment, we provide advanced diagnostics and expert care to ensure fast and effective recovery.
