Dalili za UTI (maambukizi ya njia ya mkojo)

Dalili za UTI (maambukizi ya njia ya mkojo)

UTI ni maambukizi ya bakteria kwenye kibofu, mrija wa mkojo au figo. Ni ya kawaida zaidi kwa wanawake, lakini wanaume na watoto pia huipata.

• Maumivu au hisia ya kuungua unapokojoa
• Kuhisi haja ya kukojoa mara kwa mara au ghafla
• Kukojoa kidogo kidogo hata kama unahisi haja kubwa
• Mkojo wenye mawingu, harufu kali au damu
• Maumivu chini ya tumbo
• Kwa wazee: kuchanganyikiwa au mabadiliko ya tabia ghafla

Baadhi ya magonjwa ya zinaa yana dalili zinazofanana na UTI, kama maumivu wakati wa kukojoa au kutokwa na uchafu. Kipimo ndicho kinachotofautisha.

Nenda hospitali mara moja ukiona:

• Homa kali, kutetemeka au kuhisi baridi
• Maumivu ya mgongo au ubavuni (chini ya mbavu)
• Kichefuchefu au kutapika
• Damu nyingi kwenye mkojo au kushindwa kukojoa kabisa

Nini cha kufanya

• Ona mhudumu wa afya upimwe mkojo kabla ya kutumia antibiotiki.
• Usinunue antibiotiki bila ushauri — dawa isiyofaa huchangia usugu wa dawa.
• Kunywa maji ya kutosha.
• Wajawazito, wanaume, watoto na wanaopata UTI mara kwa mara wanapaswa kuonana na daktari kila mara.

UTI symptoms (urinary tract infection)

A UTI is a bacterial infection of the bladder, urethra or kidneys. It is most common in women, but men and children get UTIs too.

• Pain or a burning feeling when peeing
• Needing to pee often or suddenly
• Passing only small amounts of urine despite the urge
• Cloudy, strong-smelling or bloody urine
• Pain in the lower tummy
• In older people: sudden confusion or changes in behaviour

Some sexually transmitted infections cause similar symptoms, such as pain when peeing or discharge. A test tells them apart.

Go to hospital immediately if you have:

• High fever, shivering or feeling very cold
• Pain in the back or side, below the ribs
• Nausea or vomiting
• A lot of blood in the urine, or being unable to pee at all

What to do

• See a health worker for a urine test before taking antibiotics.
• Don't buy antibiotics without advice — the wrong medicine fuels drug resistance.
• Drink enough water.
• Pregnant women, men, children and people with repeated UTIs should always see a clinician.
