UTI symptoms (sintomas ng UTI)
UTI symptoms usually start suddenly, often with burning when you pee and a strong, frequent urge to go.
Burning or pain when peeing
Mahapdi o masakit umihi. This is one of the most common early signs.
Frequent urge to pee
Madalas maihi pero kaunti lang ang lumalabas. Talk to a doctor if it lasts more than a day or two.
Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
Malabo o mabaho ang ihi. Often seen together with burning or urgency.
Blood in your urine
May dugo o kulay pink o pula ang ihi. Get checked by a doctor soon.
Pain in the lower belly
Masakit o mabigat ang puson. Usually a sign the bladder is irritated.
Peeing more at night
Madalas gumising sa gabi para umihi. Mention this to your doctor.
Fever, chills or back pain
Nilalagnat, nanginginig, o masakit ang likod o tagiliran. This may mean a kidney infection, so seek in-person care right away.
UTI treatment options (gamot sa UTI)
Your doctor decides what's right for you. It may include:
• A urine test to confirm the infection
• Antibiotics, if prescribed, taken for the full course
• Medicine for pain or burning, if your doctor recommends it
• A urine culture if symptoms come back or don't improve
Prescription medicines are only dispensed with a valid prescription.

Causes of UTI (sanhi ng UTI)
Most UTIs happen when bacteria, usually E. coli from the bowel, get into the urethra and travel up to the bladder. Women get UTIs more often because they have a shorter urethra, so bacteria reach the bladder more easily.
Risk factors include sexual activity, holding your pee for a long time, not drinking enough fluids, pregnancy, menopause, diabetes, kidney stones and using a urinary catheter.

Home remedies and prevention (home remedy sa UTI)
Simple daily habits can lower your chances of getting a UTI and help you feel more comfortable while you recover. Home care helps with prevention and comfort, but it doesn't cure UTI. Talk to a doctor for treatment.
Drink enough water
Uminom ng sapat na tubig para mas madalas kang umihi. This helps flush bacteria out of your urinary tract.
Don't hold your pee
Umihi agad kapag naiihi ka. Holding it in gives bacteria more time to grow in the bladder.
Wipe from front to back
Punasan mula harap papunta sa likod pagkatapos gumamit ng CR. This keeps bacteria from the anus away from the urethra.
Pee after sex
Umihi pagkatapos makipagtalik. It helps flush out bacteria that may have entered the urethra.
Skip scented feminine products
Iwasan ang mabangong feminine wash, douche o powder sa ari. These can irritate the area.
Use a warm compress for discomfort
Maglagay ng warm compress sa puson para gumaan ang pakiramdam. It eases discomfort but doesn't treat the infection.
