Do you have elderly people at your home? Are they not able to hold their urination? Are they on a catheter? If your answer is yes, then they all are prone to urinary tract infection (UTI). Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common abbreviation that all are aware of. This is common in young and old but older people have higher chances of getting UTI. Experiencing pain and burning sensation and cloudy urine are all signs of a UTI. The infection can affect any part of your urinary system—kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra—however, most UTIs involve the lower urinary tract (specifically, the bladder). The painful symptoms of a UTI not only irritate the elderly, but they can lead to serious consequences if the infection reaches the kidneys.
