Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common infection that affects any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Dr. Praveen M P offers specialized care in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of UTIs, focusing on effective symptom relief and reducing the risk of recurrence.
UTIs are more common in women but can affect men, children, and older adults as well. Symptoms typically include a burning sensation while urinating, frequent urge to urinate, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, pelvic pain, or lower abdominal discomfort. Dr. Praveen conducts a thorough evaluation through clinical examination, urine analysis, urine culture, and ultrasound (if needed) to accurately diagnose the infection and its severity.
Treatment generally involves antibiotics based on the type of bacteria causing the infection, along with adequate hydration and symptom management. In recurrent or complicated cases, further investigations may be recommended to check for underlying conditions like kidney stones, urinary blockages, or structural abnormalities.
Medical counselling is a key component of UTI care, helping patients understand preventive measures and the importance of early treatment. Dr. Praveen M P offers personalized counselling on proper hygiene practices, fluid intake, safe sexual health practices, and the need for completing antibiotic courses to prevent recurrence.
Counselling empowers patients to identify early symptoms of UTIs and adopt healthy habits to reduce infection risks. Dr. Praveen emphasizes avoiding irritants like harsh soaps, staying well-hydrated, and urinating after intercourse, especially for women who are more prone to recurrent UTIs.
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of UTIs prevent complications like kidney infections (pyelonephritis), sepsis, or chronic bladder issues. Dr. Praveen M P stresses the importance of seeking medical attention if UTI symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by fever and back pain.
With a focus on comprehensive care, Dr. Praveen works closely with nephrologists and urologists when required for complex or recurrent UTI cases, ensuring complete evaluation and effective management.
Understanding the discomfort and anxiety associated with UTIs, Dr. Praveen M P provides compassionate care, clear communication, and continuous support to help patients recover quickly and stay infection-free.
