It's a misconception that parasitic infections only happen in third-world countries. Surprisingly, millions in the US are affected, often without even knowing it. The trouble with parasitic infections is that they can hide in our bodies, causing long-term damage before we even realize they're there. Many individuals may not experience any symptoms, while others might attribute their symptoms to different causes. This lack of awareness can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Regular check-ups and open conversations with healthcare providers are vital. Remember, early detection and treatment are key to preventing complications.

UTIs are caused by bacteria – usually a micro-organism known as E. coli – coming into your body through your urethra and multiplying. Most infections are confined to the bladder (cystitis) and are not serious. But if left untreated, the infection can spread to your kidneys (pyelonephritis), potentially cause kidney damage and pose a much bigger risk to your health.
