Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections that occur in the urinary tract, including the bladder and urethra. The symptoms of UTIs in women can vary depending on the severity and location of the infection, but some common symptoms include:
Pain or burning during urination
Frequent and urgent need to urinate
Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
Lower abdominal pain or pressure
Blood in the urine
Fatigue or fever (if the infection has spread to the kidneys)
It’s important to note that some women may not experience any symptoms at all, especially if the infection is mild or located in the urethra. If you think you may have a UTI or are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider to get tested and receive treatment if necessary. UTIs can be easily treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, they can lead to more serious complications.
