Using the UTI Risk Assessment Calculator
The UTI Risk Assessment Calculator is a tool designed to help evaluate the risk of urinary tract infections based on various symptoms and factors. Follow this guide to effectively use the calculator.
Step 1: Provide Personal Information
- Gender: Select your gender from the dropdown options. The available choices are “Female” or “Male”. This information helps in assessing the gender-based risk factor.
- Age: Enter your age in the provided input box. Ensure that your age is between 1 and 120, as these are the accepted values for this field.
Step 2: Specify Symptom Details
- Urinary Frequency: Use the dropdown to select your urinary frequency. Choose “Normal (4-10 times per day)” if it is within the normal range or “Increased (>10 times per day)” if it exceeds the normal frequency.
- Burning Pain During Urination: Indicate whether you experience burning pain during urination by selecting “Yes” or “No” from the dropdown list.
- Cloudy or Strong-Smelling Urine: Choose “Yes” if you have noticed cloudy or strong-smelling urine, otherwise select “No”.
- Fever Present: Select “Yes” if you have a fever, or “No” if you do not.
- Lower Back Pain: From the dropdown, select “Yes” if you experience lower back pain, otherwise choose “No”.
Step 3: Review Your UTI Risk Assessment
- UTI Risk Score: The calculator computes a risk score by adding together the values of symptoms selected in Step 2. Each “Yes” response adds one point to the total score.
- Risk Level: The risk score determines your risk level. Scores of 1 or less indicate “Low Risk”, scores of 2 to 3 indicate “Moderate Risk”, and scores above 3 indicate “High Risk”.
- Gender-Based Risk Factor: Based on the gender selected, the calculator provides additional context. Females generally have a “Higher Risk” compared to males, who typically have a “Lower Risk”.
By following these steps, you can effectively use the UTI Risk Assessment Calculator to evaluate your potential risk for urinary tract infections. Remember that this tool is intended for informational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice.
