Urinary Tract Infection Treatment

What is Urinary Tract Infection ?

A Urinary Tract Infection, also known as UTI, is a common type of infection in your urinary system. A UTI can involve any part of your urinary system. For instance, it can include the bladder, kidneys, urethra, etc. Dr Salanki offers holistic medical care to treat UTIs.
