3. The genitourinary system, or urogenital system, in vertebrates, the organs concerned
with reproduction and urinary excretion. Although their functions are unrelated, the
structures involved in excretion and reproduction are morphologically associated
and often use common ducts. The major structures of the urinary system in
mammals are the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The major structures of the
reproductive system in males are the testes, sperm ducts, urethra, and penis; in
females, they are the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina.
Introduction

4. COMPONENTS OF GENITO URINARY TRACT
• The male urogenital system consists of several parts, including the testes, epididymis, vas
deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra, penis, prostate and accessory glands.
• A female's internal uro genital organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
The vagina is a muscular, hollow tube that extends from the vaginal opening to the uterus.

5. Most common disease of genito urinary tract :
• Bladder infections, Enlarged prostate, Incontinence, Kidney infections, Kidney stones,
• UTI(urinary tract infection).

6. UTI(URINARY TRACT INFECTION).
• Most people are infected with UTI
•
• UTI(urinary tract infection)
• A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of our urinary system — our kidneys, ureters,
bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra.

7. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS:
Urinary tract infections don't always cause signs and symptoms, but when they do they may
include:
• A strong, persistent urge to urinate
• A burning sensation when urinating
• Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
• Urine that appears cloudy
• Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola-colored — a sign of blood in the urine
• Strong-smelling urine
• Pelvic pain, in women — especially in the center of the pelvis and around the area of the pubic
bone

8. DIAGNOSIS OF UTI :
• UTIs can be found by analyzing a urine sample. The urine is examined under a microscope for
bacteria or white blood cells, which are signs of infection. Your health care provider may also
take a urine culture. This is a test that detects and identifies bacteria and yeast in the urine,
which may be causing a UTI.

9. Causative agent of UTI :
• UTIs are caused by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, as
well as by certain fungi (FIG. 1). The most common causative agent for
both uncomplicated and complicated UTIs is uropathogenic Escherichia
coli (UPEC).
Transmission of UTI :
• A UTI isn't a sexually transmitted infection (STI), and it isn't considered
a contagious condition. However, you can pass the bacteria that causes
a UTI between partner.

10. PREVENTION OF UTI
• You can take these steps to reduce your risk of urinary tract infections:
• Drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Drinking water helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate
more frequently — allowing bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin.
• Drink cranberry juice. Although studies are not conclusive that cranberry juice prevents UTIs, it is likely not
harmful.
• Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal
region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
• Empty your bladder soon after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.
• Avoid potentially irritating feminine products. Using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as
douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra.
• Change your birth control method. Diaphragms, or unlubricated or spermicide-treated condoms, can all
contribute to bacterial growth.

11. TREATMENT FOR UTI
• If your physician thinks you need them, antibiotics are the most
common treatment for urinary tract infections. As always, be sure
to take all of your prescribed medicine, even after you start to feel
better. Drink lots of water to help flush the bacteria from your
body. Your doctor may also give you a medication to soothe pain.
You might find a heating pad helpful.
