Kidney Stones
Kidney stones can be a major risk factor for the development of UTI. They are hard deposits of minerals that form inside the linings of your kidneys. Because kidney stones can block the lumen of the urinary tract, they cause regurgitation (back up) of the urine. They can cause UTI by giving bacteria a safe place and plenty of time to grow. Furthermore, late diagnosis or delaying treatment for your urinary tract infection can lead to kidney damage. So, it is essential to consult professionals and get medical attention ASAP if you experience any common UTI symptoms.
