Management of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) involves timely diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic therapy, and preventive strategies to avoid recurrence. UTIs are most commonly caused by Escherichia coli and can affect the bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis), or kidneys (pyelonephritis). Treatment typically includes a course of antibiotics based on culture sensitivity, along with increased fluid intake and symptomatic relief measures. In recurrent or complicated cases, further investigations like imaging and referral to a specialist may be required. Patient education on hygiene practices and hydration plays a key role in prevention.
