Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common infection affecting any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. UTIs are typically caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract, most commonly through the urethra.

Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, particularly E. coli, which normally live in the bowel.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) may include:

  • pain or burning when urinating (dysuria)

  • a frequent and urgent need to urinate

  • Fever

  • Fatigue

  • cloudy or bloody urine

  • pain in the lower abdomen or back

  • Nausea and vomiting

When treated promptly and properly, lower urinary tract infections rarely lead to complications. But left untreated, UTIs can cause serious health problems.

The infection can also travel up from your bladder through your ureters and eventually infect your kidneys.
