A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria — most commonly E. coli — enter the urinary system. Although UTIs are more common in women, anyone can be affected, including men, children, and older adults. Symptoms may include burning during urination, frequent urges to urinate, pelvic pressure, fever, or discomfort.
Some UTIs present no symptoms at all, yet can still progress into serious conditions like kidney infections or even sepsis. Because other pelvic conditions can resemble UTIs, accurate testing is essential to ensure proper and safe treatment.
