Leading up to the midterm elections is a week of campaigning, political rhetoric, and. of course, begging constituents for money. But October 28 marks a day that should remind American what is at stake and how important November 4 is. Today marks the 128th birthday of the Statue of Liberty.
A urinary tract infection (also called a âUTIâ) is what happens when bacteria (germs) get into the urinary system and multiply. The result is redness, swelling, and pain. If the infection is not treated promptly, the bacteria can travel up to the kidneys and cause a more serious type of infection, called pyelonephritis.
They then travel up the urethra to the bladder. Sometimes, bacteria escape the bladder and urethra, traveling up the ureters to one or both kidneys. Pyelonephritis is a potentially serious kidney infection that can spread to the blood, causing severe illness.
