Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections that can affect the bladder, the kidneys and the tubes connected to them.

Anyone can get them, but they're particularly common in women. Some women experience them regularly (called recurrent UTIs).

UTIs can be painful and uncomfortable, but usually pass within a few days and can be easily treated with antibiotics.

Symptoms

-Urinary tract infections don't always cause signs and symptoms, but when they do they may include:

-A strong, persistent urge to urinate

-A burning sensation when urinating

-Passing frequent, small amounts of urine

-Urine that appears cloudy

-Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola-colored — a sign of blood in the urine

-Pain or pressure in your back or lower abdomen

-Feeling tired or shaky

-Fever or chills (a sign the infection may have reached your kidneys

-Strong-smelling urine

-Pelvic pain, in women — especially in the center of the pelvis and around the area of the pubic bone

UTIs may be overlooked or mistaken for other conditions in older adults.
