    Types of UTI

    • UTI
    • Chronic UTI
    • Cystitis
    • Cystitis Interstitial

    What are the symptoms you are likely to experience?

    The symptoms will vary depending on whether you get lower or upper UTI.

    Lower UTI will cause you to experience:

    • Fever
    • Back pain
    • Strange smell
    • Changes in urine colour (blood traces or cloudiness)
    • Feeling of urinating more frequently than normal, painful urination and constant pain in pubic region

    Upper UTI symptoms make you experience:

    • Uncontrollable shivering or chills
    • Diarrhoea
    • Sickness and nausea
    • High fever
    • Groin, back or side pain
    • Severe pain during urination

    This infection is caused by bacteria that passes through urethra. It is completely different from STI but can happen due to sexual intercourse and poor hygiene. It cannot affect your sexual partner(s), but you may experience irritation during intercourse.

    Men may get this infection because of stricture, early stages of STI, prostate problems, bladder problems or gallstones.

    What to expect from a UTI test?

    There is no proper preparation for undergoing a UTI test. You are advised to drink lots of water before the exam. You have to provide mid-stream urine sample for analysis in the lab. Once you receive the results, you can make a follow-up appointment with the GP near you to discuss the results and seek necessary advice and treatment.
