The signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) can vary depending on which part of the urinary tract is infected. However, some of the common symptoms of a UTI include:
A strong, persistent urge to urinate
A burning sensation while urinating
Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
Blood in the urine
Pain in the lower abdomen or back
Fever or chills (a sign that the infection may have reached the kidneys)
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
