Urinary Tract Infection

What Is a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)?


A urinary tract infection is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys. UTIs are common, and symptoms often include a burning sensation when you pass urine, frequent urination, and lower abdominal pain. Left untreated, UTIs can lead to more severe conditions, such as kidney infections.

Common symptoms of a UTI include:

  • A strong, persistent urge to urinate.
  • Pain or a burning sensation while urinating.
  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine.
  • Blood in the urine.
  • Lower abdominal or pelvic pain.

In severe cases, a UTI can cause fever, nausea, or back pain, which may indicate a kidney infection. If you notice these symptoms, seek medical help immediately.

Who Is at Risk of Developing a UTI?


Several factors increase the risk of UTIs, including:

    • Sexual activity: Bacteria may enter the urinary tract during intercourse.
    • Kidney stones or an enlarged prostate: These can block the flow of urine, leading to infection.
    • Poor hygiene practices: Failing to wipe from front to back can spread bacteria to the genital area.
    • Medical conditions: Conditions like diabetes or a weakened immune system can make infections more likely.

Frequently Asked Questions


Women are more prone to UTIs because their urethra is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder. Poor hygiene and sexual activity can also increase the risk.

Men can get UTIs due to an enlarged prostate, kidney stones, or bacteria entering the urethra. These infections are less common but can occur at any age.

The first signs in the elderly may include confusion, weakness, or a sudden change in behavior, rather than typical symptoms like pain during urination.

Recurring UTIs can be caused by incomplete treatment, a weakened immune system, or anatomical issues like kidney stones or an enlarged prostate.

UTIs are typically caused by bacteria, such as E. coli, entering the urinary tract. Poor hygiene, sexual activity, and certain medical conditions can increase the risk.

The fastest way to treat a UTI is to consult a doctor and take prescribed antibiotics. Drinking water and avoiding irritants can also help.

See a doctor if symptoms persist, worsen, or include fever, back pain, or blood in the urine. These may indicate a more severe infection.
