A Resource About Urinary Tract Infections ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ More than 10 million visits to doctors' offices are made each year because of the symptoms and problems that come with a urinary tract infection (UTI). When the urge to urinate seems more urgent, or difficult to control, when urination is accompanied by a burning sensation or discomfort, the problem may be an infection somewhere along the urinary tract from the kidneys, ureter, bladder, to the urethra which carries the urine out of the body. In some cases the appearance of the urine, or a new and unpleasant odor is the first clue that something has gone wrong and that a visit to the physician is in order. The Bladder Health Council of the American Foundation for Urologic Disease has produced a new, informative and well illustrated brochure that contains many of the answers needed by individuals affected by a UTI. It is appropriately called "Answers to Your Questions About Urinary Tract Infections". You may obtain your copy by simply requesting it.
