What Is A Urinary Tract Infection?
By definition, a urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when there is an infection anywhere in the urinary system that I just described. Again, this includes the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys. The urinary system is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water.
Most frequently, the UTI is caused by a bacterium or bacteria such as E. coli, or Klebsiella, that climb up through the urethra, and they most often land in the bladder.
The bacteria can get into the urethra and travel up to the bladder. Once in the bladder, the bacteria can multiply and cause a bladder infection or cystitis. However, the infection has the potential to ascend, reaching higher areas such as the ureters and even the kidneys.
Top 10 Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms
1. Pain When You Urinate
2. Cloudy Urine
3. Foul-Smelling Urine
4. Frequency In The Urge To Urinate
5. Urinary Urgency
6. Pressure or Cramping In The Lower Abdomen
7. Fever
8. Lower Back Pain or Flank Pain
9. Nausea and Vomiting
10. Blood in Urine, or Hematuria
Don't ignore your body's signals; trust your instincts and seek medical attention when needed. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Stay healthy!

    @@MsRicanMami1 I've had several UTI's in my life. No matter how clean and hygienic I am or how clean I keep my bottom area there, I get UTI's. My doctors (2 of them) told me that some women are built differently down there too, which makes it easy for them to get UTI's. They always put me on antibiotics. I know I'm getting one when I feel "crampy" right above my crotch at the bottom of my stomach; I feel really tired all the time; I have to pee all the time; I feel like I''m "coming down with something" along with those other symptoms. A couple of times, the antibiotics didn't work the first time and they had to do a 2nd round of a different antibiotic (that's why you should ask if they send out your urine culture to a lab, and that lab will determine the exact bacteria that is causing your UTI, and they'll give the correct antibiotic for that specific bacteria). My cultures take 3 days to come back. In the meantime, they've put me on either Macrobid or Cipro (Ciprofloxacin), but Cipro can have bad side effects. The Macrobid works best on me. My UTI's can go away after 5 days on antibiotics, OR, they've also taken up to 2 weeks to go away. I've tried to prevent them by drinking tons of water all the time; by taking showers before & after sex; by wearing only cotton underpants; by taking baths instead of showers (to sit in the soapy water & get really clean up inside there). Nothing has worked. I still get UTI's. My doctors recommended the supplement called "D-Mannose", which you take daily with your vitamins and it makes it "slippery" inside the urine tract so that no bacteria sticks. The famous brand called "AZO" now makes D-Mannose. I hope you get better. ❤

    I'm assuming you're very young. Cancer is cancer. A UTI is an infection (urinary tract infection). If a UTI was cancer, the first thing they would do is not call it "urinary tract INFECTION". They would call it "urinary tract cancer". A tooth infection is an infection. It is not jaw or mouth cancer. If it's cancer of any kind, it'll have the word cancer in it.

    Just want to add that UTIs in older adults have different symptoms...dizziness, loss of balance, falls, loss of appetite, confusion, low blood pressure, incontinence. Unfortunately, these symptoms may go on for quite a while before a diagnosis is made.
