Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the most widespread infections in clinical practice worldwide. With over 8.3 million clinic visits and more than 1 million hospitalizations, cases of UTI are both morbid and recurrent.
A single type of bacteria, for example, E.coli causes about 80-90% of UTIs.
UTIs are more common in women than men.
Around 50% of women experience Urinary tract infections (UTI) at some point in their lives which has been a growing cause of concern.
Even though the prevalence data shows that the occurrence of UTI is most likely between the ages of 14 and 24, both men and women of older ages experience episodes of uncomplicated UTIs just as much.
In men, symptomatic UTIs are less common with 12% prevalence rates.
