Abstract :
Urinary tract infection is more common in
females than males. Around 50 - 60 % of women are
experiencing urinary tract infections in India. Nowadays,
this is a severe health problem in our society, most
commonly by Escherichia coli, less commonly by
Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, and
Staphylococcus saprophyticus. The study is designed as a
questionnaire and is distributed to female students. This
study was conducted to assess urinary tract infection
among the female age group (18 - 22) years at Sree
Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic
Sciences and Hospital, Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India.
Verbal consent was taken from the females by explaining
the purpose of the study. The total number of study
respondents was 30. The questionnaire contains 30
questions. The parameters of the questionnaire included
urogenital, Gastrointestinal discomforts, pain,
medication, habits, personal hygiene, and cloth hygiene.
This study shows that most females are not aware of the
symptoms related to urinary tract infections. Therefore,
females need more awareness about urinary tract
infections and genital hygiene.
