Why Are Complicated UTIs a Concern?

• More challenging to treat and often require longer courses of antibiotics.
• Increased risk of spreading to the kidneys or bloodstream, leading to more serious health complications.
• Symptoms may include high fever, chills, flank pain, nausea, vomiting, and frequent, painful urination.

How Do Complicated UTIs Occur?

• Bacteria enter the urinary tract and multiply, often in individuals with predisposing factors such as catheters, urinary tract obstructions, or immune suppression.
• Can be caused by resistant bacteria, making standard antibiotics less effective.
• Recurrent UTIs or infections associated with medical devices like catheters can also be classified as complicated.
