This page has been medically reviewed by Dr Gabriel Chain, March 2025.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system, leading to pain and discomfort. UTIs are more common in girls due to the shorter urethra but can affect boys as well. If left untreated, they can spread to the kidneys, causing more serious health issues.
Encouraging good hygiene, proper hydration, and frequent urination can help prevent UTIs.
We offer urine tests and personalised treatment plans to quickly address UTIs, relieving discomfort and preventing complications.
