A Urinary Tract Infection is an infection that occurs in any part of the urinary system. UTIs are most common in women and usually affect the bladder or urethra, while more serious infections can involve the kidneys. Symptoms may include pelvic pain, an increased urge to urinate, blood in the urine, and, in the case of kidney infections, back pain.
