UTI's - Introduction
UTI’s
Having a urine infection can be a common
problem when you are older. There may be underlying health problems that are
responsible. Urine infections are usually easily treated with a course of a
medicine called an antibiotic. Once cleared with treatment, in most cases there
are no long-term problems following a urine infection. There are some simple
steps you can take to help prevent a urine infection.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a type of
infection that are common among older people. Women are more commonly affected
by them than men. If a person with a memory impairment or dementia has a
urinary tract infection, this can cause sudden and severe confusion known as
'delirium'.
