Urinary Tract Infection Teaching 2141
SN instructed that the most commonly experienced symptom across individuals with UTIs is a burning sensation during urination. The passage through which urine passes to be expelled from the body becomes tender due to the infection; when urine goes through it, the person experiences a painful sensation that mostly doesn’t last post urination. Since in a lot of cases UTIs are not present with signs, if a burning pain is felt during urination, the infection may be strong, and thus seeking treatment at the earliest is recommended.
