Urinary tract infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial
infection that affects any part of the
urinary tract. Although urine contains a variety of fluids, salts, and waste products, it usually does not have bacteria in it. When bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and multiply in the urine, they cause a UTI. The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection which is also often called
cystitis. Another kind of UTI is a kidney infection, known as
pyelonephritis, and is much more serious. Although they cause discomfort, urinary tract infections are usually quickly and easily treated by seeing a doctor promptly.
