Understanding UTIs

A UTI is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system—including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract, primarily the bladder and urethra. While easily treatable, untreated UTIs can lead to complications like kidney infections or chronic urinary issues.

Common Causes of UTIs

• Bacterial infection, usually by E. coli from the gastrointestinal tract
• Poor hygiene or improper wiping technique
• Holding in urine for too long
• Sexual activity (especially in women)
• Menopause and hormonal changes
• Urinary catheter use
• Kidney stones or structural abnormalities
• Weakened immune system or diabetes

Symptoms of a UTI

• A burning sensation while urinating
• Frequent urge to urinate, even with little output
• Cloudy, dark, or strong-smelling urine
• Pain or pressure in the lower abdomen or back
• Feeling tired or shaky
• Fever or chills (if the infection reaches the kidneys)
• In men: discomfort in the rectal area
• In elderly individuals: confusion or agitation may be a sign
