What is a UTI?
A uninary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary tract, which includes your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra.
People with uteruses are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men. Infection limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to your kidneys.
