Anyone can get a UTI.
Anybody can get a UTI. It is caused by bacteria getting into the urinary tract and causing an infection. It is easily treated by antibiotics and diagnosed with a simple pee test. Doctors typically give you an antibiotic for 10 days, and urinary pain reliever.
If UTIs go untreated, they can lead to a NASTY kidney infection.
It's best to see yor doctor, or a walk-in clinic as soon as you notie symptoms such as: painful urination, dark colored urine, constant feeling of having to go, difficulty going, and in extreme cases blood in the urine, nausea, and fever.
Diabetes can lead to urinating mroe frequently, but not neccesarily increased risk of UTIs.
In actual fact, anybody with poor hygiene or poor immune system can get urinary tract infection
Though anyone can get a UTI diabetics are more susceptible since there are higher levels of blood sugar in the urine therefore a stronger medium for bacterial growth.
anyone can get a uti. females are more prone to get them, because of bacteria around the vagina. you have to make sure that you clean your self very good, and don't use colored toilet paper and no colored underwear. that attracts bacteria.
no anybody can get them and the only way to get over them is getting antibiotics for it.
