Urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial infections, especially among women. While usually involving the bladder, they can escalate into serious kidney infections when other risk factors are present. Symptoms like burning urination, frequent urges, or cloudy urine are warning signs — but for older adults, confusion may be the first clue something’s wrong.

💡 Hajar I. Ayoub, MD, a urologist at UT Physicians, shares prevention tips to help you stay UTI-free:
✔️ Stay hydrated.
✔️ Don’t hold in urine.
✔️ Consider cranberry pills (not juice!) and D-mannose.
✔️ Postmenopausal? Vaginal estrogen can help.
✔️ Avoid constipation.

If UTIs keep coming back, it might be time to visit your health care provider.
