Urinary tract infections are occurred due to bacteria that travel up the urinary duct (urethra) into the bladder. Among men, Urinary tract infections are more likely to develop when an enlarged prostate gland cuts off the flow of urine, causing it to stagnate and giving bacteria a chance to multiply. Among women, sexual intercourse, pregnancy, diabetes, or a past Urinary tract infections all increase the chances of this kind of infection. Women also increase their risk by wiping from back to front after a bowel movement. Holding your urine rather than urinating when you feel the need will also raise the odds of a Urinary tract infection.
Phenazopyridine may also be used for relieve other conditions that determined by your doctor’s or consultant.
