A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that can happen in any part of your urinary system, which includes your kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that carry urine. They can cause symptoms like pain or burning when you pee, needing to pee a lot, or feeling pressure in your lower belly. UTIs are usually treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, they can spread to your kidneys and cause more serious problems.

Some of the most common UTIs are listed below:
