Urine Related Issues
There are a variety of urinary problems that people can experience. Some of the most common ones include:
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs): These occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract and cause an infection. Symptoms may include a frequent need to urinate, pain or burning during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pain in the lower abdomen or back.
- Incontinence: This refers to the inability to control urine flow. It can be caused by a number of factors, such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, or certain medical conditions.
- Kidney stones: These are hard deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause pain and discomfort as they pass through the urinary tract.
- Overactive bladder: This is a condition where the bladder contracts involuntarily and causes a sudden, strong need to urinate.
- Urinary retention: This occurs when the bladder is unable to fully empty, which can cause discomfort and an increased risk of UTIs.
