A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that can occur in any part of your urinary system, which includes your kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that carry urine. They can lead to symptoms like pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, or a feeling of pressure in your lower abdomen. UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, they can spread to your kidneys and cause more serious issues.

Some of the most common UTIs are listed below:
