How a simple UTI can turn deadly if left untreated

A urinary tract infection (UTI), which often begins with pain during urination or frequent trips to the toilet, can become life-threatening if it spreads and triggers sepsis, a condition where the body's response to infection damages tissues and organs, potentially causing organ failure and death. UTI occurs when bacteria enter and multiply in the urinary system. Awareness of the severity of this infection is crucial to prevent serious complications.
