UTI Treatment in Ahmedabad — Expert Urinary Tract Infection Clinic by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections affecting both men and women. A single UTI treated promptly is one thing. Three or more per year is a pattern that demands proper investigation — not just another antibiotic prescription. At Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi — M.S., M.Ch. (Urology) — offers expert UTI treatment in Ahmedabad for both acute infections and the complex underlying causes that drive recurrence.
Understanding UTI
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria — most commonly E. coli — colonise the urinary tract. Infections can affect the bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis), or kidney (pyelonephritis) — each requiring a different level of urgency and treatment.
Symptoms of UTI
- Burning or stinging during urination
- Frequent urgent need to urinate with small volumes passed
- Cloudy, dark, or foul-smelling urine
- Lower abdominal discomfort or pressure
- Fever, back or flank pain — suggesting kidney involvement
- Blood in the urine
Recurrent UTI — Finding the Root Cause
Three or more UTIs per year almost always signals an underlying cause that has not been addressed. Common drivers include incomplete bladder emptying, bladder stones, anatomical factors, and antibiotic resistance. Recurrent UTIs are frequently linked to other conditions — kidney stones acting as bacterial reservoirs, frequent urination from overactive bladder, and urinary retention leading to stagnant residual urine.
Diagnostic Approach
Dr. Prarthan Joshi performs a structured evaluation including urine culture and sensitivity, renal and bladder ultrasound, post-void residual measurement, and cystoscopy where indicated — identifying the root cause rather than masking it with repeated antibiotic courses. Patients experiencing nocturia alongside recurrent UTIs receive a full urodynamic assessment.
