Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Definition

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a series of repeated infections affecting the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. They are typically caused by bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli (E. coli), and can lead to symptoms such as pain, burning during urination, and frequent urges to urinate.
