A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs in any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, urethra, ureters, and kidneys. UTIs are most commonly caused by bacteria, and symptoms may include frequent urination, painful urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and low abdominal pain. UTIs are treated with antibiotics, and prompt treatment is important to avoid serious complications.
