Urinary infections: symptoms and management

Urinary infections occur when bacteria enter and multiply in the urinary tract. Although they are more common in women due to their anatomy, men can also be affected, especially in cases of prostate issues or other risk factors.

Specifics of urinary tract infections in men and women

  • In women: They are generally caused by bacterial migration to the bladder. Pregnancy, menopause, or sexual activity increase the risks.
  • In men: Urinary tract infections are often associated with prostate problems or urethral narrowing.
Urinary pain or burning
Sensation of pain or burning during urination.
Pain in the lower abdomen or back
Often associated with a more advanced infection, such as pyelonephritis.
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
Abnormal appearance or odor that may indicate an infection.
Frequent urination
A frequent need to urinate, often accompanied by a burning sensation, can be a sign of a urinary tract infection.
Fever or chills
Possible indicators of a serious urinary tract infection.
Vaginal itching
Sensation of irritation or tingling, often caused by a yeast infection or an allergic reaction.
Redness and swelling
Tenderness and inflammation of the vulva, often related to an infection or an imbalance in vaginal pH.
Abnormal discharge
Unusual secretions, such as thick white discharge for candidiasis, or grayish and foul-smelling discharge for bacterial vaginosis.
Pain during sexual intercourse

Burning sensation or discomfort caused by vaginal irritation or inflammation.

Vaginal infections: types and symptoms

Vaginal infections can result from several causes, including microbial imbalances, irritants, or sexually transmitted infections. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Types of vaginal infections

  • Vaginitis: Inflammation of the vagina caused by bacterial, fungal (yeast infection), parasitic (trichomoniasis) infections, or irritants.
  • Bacterial vaginosis: Caused by an imbalance of the vaginal flora, characterized by grayish discharge and an unpleasant odor.
  • Fungal infections (candidiasis): Related to an overgrowth of yeasts such as Candida albicans. Common symptoms include itching, redness, thick white discharge.
  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Some STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause symptoms similar to other vaginal infections.
