About urinary tract infection (uti)
UTI is the name for an infection somewhere in the urinary system, typically the bladder or the urethra, and bacteria are almost always the cause. Cystitis, the bladder form, is the one most people meet, especially women.
Signs of urinary tract infection (uti) to look for
- Burning or stinging when urinating
- Frequent, urgent need to pass urine, often only a little
- Sometimes blood in the urine
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Lower belly or pelvic discomfort
Common triggers
Bowel bacteria that travel to the urethra are the usual culprit. Dehydration, putting off trips to the toilet, hours in damp swimwear, heat, travel fatigue and new partners all add to the risk when you are away.
