Lower urinary tract infections seldom cause problems when treated early and correctly. A urinary tract infection, on the other hand, might have catastrophic repercussions if left untreated.
A UTI may cause the following complications:
Recurrent infections, particularly in women who have two or more UTIs in six months or four or more in a year.
Pregnant mothers are more likely to have low birth weight or preterm babies.
en with recurrent urethritis have a urethral narrowing (stricture), which was previously recognised with gonococcal urethritis.
Sepsis is a potentially fatal infection consequence, especially if the infection spreads up your urinary tract to your kidneys.
