Lucknow: With maximum temperatures rising specially in northern India region people are complaining of loose motion, vomiting and stomach cramps along with UTI disorders of burning sensation while urinating, painful urination and fever leading to gastrointestinal diseases in hospitals and clinics these days as bacteria causes infection in higher temperature.
More than 10 cases are coming up every day with stomach infection which did not spare anyone of any age and patients are children, adult and even elderly.
With increase in number of patients with weakened digestion had also gone up through various sources, such as food, water, direct exposure to wastes and lack in having safe drinking water.
So, acidic urine is common in this type of hot and humid climate when the body gets dehydrated through sweating during day time.
Once monsoon season will hit the region the cases might shoot up further as humidity helped bacteria grow faster.

There has been a rise in cases of eye infections too such as conjunctivitis and microsporidiosis, the disease caused by a parasite called microsporidia which is due to increase in temperatures.
