Urinary infections (UTIs) can affect both children and adults, causing discomfort and health issues if not addressed properly. Here are some insights and tips from Dr. Suriraju,V a leading urologist at Regal Hospital:
UTIs in Children
Recognizing Symptoms:
Infants may exhibit fever, irritability, poor feeding, and vomiting.
Older children might experience a strong urge to urinate, pain during urination, or abdominal pain.
Preventive Measures:
Ensure children stay hydrated with plenty of fluids.
Encourage frequent bathroom breaks to avoid holding urine for long periods.
Teach proper wiping techniques for girls (front to back).
Hygiene:
Regularly change diapers to keep the area clean and dry.
Ensure good personal hygiene, especially after using the toilet.
Medical Attention:
Seek immediate medical advice if symptoms of a UTI appear to prevent complications.
UTIs in Adults
Hydration and Diet:
Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily.
Include cranberries or cranberry juice in the diet, which may help prevent UTIs.
Hygiene Practices:
Maintain proper genital hygiene.
Avoid using irritating products like douches and scented sprays in the genital area.
Urination Habits:
Do not hold urine for prolonged periods.
Urinate before and after sexual activity to flush out any bacteria.
Clothing:
Wear loose-fitting, breathable underwear to reduce moisture build-up.
Regular Check-ups:
Those with recurrent UTIs should have regular medical check-ups and discuss preventive options with their healthcare provider.
Key Takeaway
Prevention is always better than cure. Maintaining good hydration, hygiene, and regular medical check-ups can significantly reduce the risk of UTIs for both children and adults.
Stay healthy and take proactive steps to ensure your urinary health is always in check!
