FEELINGS YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE DURING URINATION

  The urinary tract includes the kidneys, ureter, bladder and urethra.
Whatever affects anyone of these affects the others directly or indirectly if left untreated. The all work together to enable the passing of urine waste. The following are signs of urination that should not be ignored::
1. Painful or burning feeling when urinating.
2. Frequent urination and incomplete emptying of the bladder.
3. Foul smelling urine.
4.Cloudy colored urine with some sediments.
5. Blood in the urine.
6. Passing small amount of urine at a time with persistent urge to urinate.
7. Experiencing flank pain or pain on the side of the abdomen that radiates to the back.
   If anyone experience these symptoms, it means they have a urinary tract infection. These infections are simple treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, can impair kidney function and lead to progressive kidney damage. If you experience these symptoms accompanied with fever, weakness, tiredness , nausea and vomiting, go to the emergency department immediately for prompt medical attention.

In kids urinary tract infection symptoms may be bed wetting, irritability and diarrhea. If your child is experiencing these symptoms seek medical help immediately.

Urinary tract infection affects more women than men. It should  never be left untreated. It can only be treated with antibiotics. Drinking extra fluids does not cure urine infection. Seek help from your doctor.
