Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) Specialist in Jalandhar – Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal | Sarvodya Hospital

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the most common reasons patients visit a urologist. Whether you’re experiencing a recurrent UTI, a complicated infection, or symptoms that won’t go away, expert urologic care can make all the difference.

At Sarvodya Hospital, under Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal, we provide accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and prevention strategies to help you find long-term relief.

What Is a UTI?

A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most UTIs involve the bladder and urethra, but infections can also affect the kidneys in more serious cases.

 Common UTI Symptoms

Symptoms can vary based on the part of the urinary tract that’s infected, but may include:

  • Burning sensation during urination
  • Frequent or urgent need to urinate
  • Cloudy, dark, or strong-smelling urine
  • Pelvic pain or lower abdominal discomfort
  • Blood in the urine
  • Fever or chills (signs of a possible kidney infection)
  • Pain in the back or side

Note: UTIs in men, postmenopausal women, or patients with certain medical conditions may present with more subtle or atypical symptoms.

Causes & Risk Factors

While UTIs are more common in women, they can affect anyone. Common causes and risk factors include:

  • Bacterial transfer from the rectum to the urethra
  • Sexual activity
  • Use of catheters or urinary devices
  • Prostate enlargement (in men)
  • Kidney stones
  • Diabetes or immune suppression
  • Menopause (due to changes in estrogen levels)
  • Anatomical abnormalities of the urinary tract
 Recurrent UTIs

If you’ve had 2 or more UTIs in 6 months, or 3 or more in a year, you may be experiencing recurrent UTIs. These infections may signal an underlying urologic issue that requires evaluation by a specialist.

Diagnosis: What to Expect

During your visit, Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal will take a detailed history and may perform:

  • Urinalysis and urine culture – To identify bacteria and determine the best antibiotic
  • Blood tests – If infection is suspected to be spreading
  • Bladder ultrasound or CT scan – To detect stones or structural issues
  • Cystoscopy – A minimally invasive procedure to examine the inside of the bladder

Our approach focuses on identifying the underlying cause of infections — not just treating symptoms.

Treatment:
  • UTI Treatment Options: Treatment depends on the severity, frequency, and cause of your UTI. Options may include:
  1. Antibiotics
  • First-line treatment for most bacterial UTIs
  • Prescription based on urine culture results
  1. Pain Relief: Medications to ease urinary burning and urgency
  1. Urologic Interventions
  • Addressing underlying causes such as:
    • Enlarged prostate (BPH)
    • Bladder dysfunction
    • Urethral stricture
    • Kidney stones
  1. Preventive Strategies
    • Vaginal estrogen for postmenopausal women
    • Behavioral modifications
    • UTI in Men
    • While less common, UTIs in men can signal more serious issues such as:
    • Prostatitis
    • Enlarged prostate (BPH)
    • Urinary retention
    • Urethral obstruction
    • Men with urinary symptoms should always be evaluated by a urologist.

Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal is a board-certified urologist with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating complicated and recurrent urinary tract infections. We take a comprehensive, patient-centered approach that goes beyond short-term fixes to provide lasting relief.

Don’t Let UTIs Disrupt Your Life

UTIs are common — but they’re also highly treatable with the right care. If you’re dealing with frequent infections, pelvic discomfort, or urinary symptoms, we’re here to help.

Mild UTIs may resolve spontaneously, but most require antibiotic treatment to avoid complications like kidney infection.

Prevention includes staying hydrated, urinating after intercourse, proper hygiene, and in some cases, medical therapy or lifestyle changes.

If you have frequent UTIs, blood in your urine, severe symptoms, or if you're a man with a UTI, it's best to see a urologist for specialized care.
