Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, our Urology Department provides expert diagnosis and treatment for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)—one of the most common urinary conditions affecting both men and women. A UTI occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract, causing infection in the urethra, bladder, or kidneys. Early treatment is essential to prevent complications such as kidney infection or recurring UTIs. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tests, targeted antibiotics, and personalized care plans to treat the infection and prevent future episodes.
