Learn how to identify the first signs of a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and when to seek treatment.
What is a UTI?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) happens when bacteria from the skin of the genitalia or rectal area finds its way into the urinary tract. The bacteria multiplies in the urethra or bladder causing an infection.
How do you know if you have a UTI?
- Frequent urination, burning while urinating or having the urge to urinate with only little urine coming out
- Woman may also have pain in the pelvic area
- Men over 50 are at increased risk for UTI because of enlarged prostate
- Other risk factors include sexual activity and poor hygiene
What to do for a UTI?
Seek treatment at the first sign of symptoms, as waiting could lead to complications, including a serious kidney infection called pyelonephritis.
