At Knights Pharmacy, we understand that dealing with urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be a daunting experience. As a trusted healthcare provider under the NHS Pharmacy First Scheme, our dedicated team is here to empower and support you through every step of your UTI journey. In this blog, we’ll delve into the intricacies of urinary tract infections, exploring their causes, symptoms, and most importantly, how Knights Pharmacy can be your partner in managing and overcoming this common health issue.
Understanding Urinary Tract Infections
A urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Women are more prone to UTIs due to the shorter length of their urethra, making it easier for bacteria to ascend into the urinary tract.
Common Symptoms
Recognising the symptoms of a UTI is crucial for seeking timely help. Common signs include:
- Frequent and painful urination
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Lower abdominal pain or discomfort
- Fever and fatigue
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to act promptly to prevent the infection from worsening and causing more severe complications.

- Stay Hydrated: Adequate hydration is crucial for maintaining urinary tract health. Aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out bacteria.
- Practice Good Hygiene: Adopting good hygiene practices, especially after using the bathroom, can significantly reduce the risk of UTIs. Wiping from front to back and urinating before and after sexual activity are essential habits to cultivate.
