Eight million people a year go to the doctor for the symptoms of a urinary tract infection, which are considered to be the second most common, followed by respiratory infections.

Most often we talk about a bladder infection, which is the most common localization, however, any part of the urinary tract can be the site of infection.

Symptoms, such as frequent urination, painful urination, and burning sensation when urinating, should always be reported to the physician.

In the summer months, urinary tract infections become more common and many wonder if wet swimwear should be changed to dry?

Changing bathing suits is an excellent measure for preventing urinary tract infections and in addition you should get enough fluids and not delay going to the toilet.

Do not analyze urine laboratory results or treat the urinary tract infection yourself, the only thing that is correct is the treatment of the infection by a doctor, preferably a urologist.
