A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. UTIs are among the most common urinary disorders and can affect both men and women. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications and protect urinary tract health.

The symptoms of a urinary tract infection may include:
Burning sensation during urination

If left untreated, the infection may spread to the kidneys and lead to more serious health problems.

UTIs are usually caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Common risk factors include:
