What does Urinary Tract Infection feel 
like?
A urinary tract infection, also called a UTI, is an 
infection that occurs in the urinary system. This could 
include the urethra, bladder, ureters and kidneys. 
Most infections involve the bladder and urethra, 
known as the lower urinary tract.
The most common symptoms include painful 
urination, tenderness above the bladder area, 
urgency and frequency of urination. Cloudy and a 
strong odor are not signs of infection.
Urinary Tract 
Infection in 
Women arFe aet gmreataerl reisks for a UTI 
because the urethra is shorter than in men, 
so it's easier for bacteria to travel to the 
bladder. UTIs also are more common in 
postmenopausal women because low 
estrogen levels change vaginal and urethral 
tissue to increase the risk of infection.
When to treat Urinary Tract 
Infection?
To say goodbye to burning, frequent 
urination, and other unpleasant 
symptoms, start with these changes 
today. The key is to keep bacteria out of 
your system.

Drink plenty of water, 
and relieve yourself often
The simplest way to prevent a UTI is to flush 
bacteria out of the bladder and urinary tract before 
it can set in. If you’re well-hydrated, it will be 
tough to go too long without urinating.

Wipe from front to back
Bacteria tend to hang around the anus. If you wipe 
from front to back, especially after a bowel 
movement, they're less likely to make it to the 
urethra.

Wash up before sex and 
urinate after it
Use soap and water before sex. This keeps 
bacteria away from the urethra. And urinating 
afterward pushes any bacteria that entered the 
urinary tract back out.

Rethink your birth control
A diaphragm, spermicide, or spermicide-lubricated 
condom can make you more likely to get a UTI because 
they all can contribute to bacterial growth. If you often 
get UTIs and use one of these birth control methods, 
switch to a water-based lubricant for vaginal dryness, 
and consider trying another birth control method to see 
if it helps.
Risk factors for Urinary Tract 
Infection include

It's common for some people 
to have bacteria in their 
urine but not experience any 
symptoms. In these cases, no 
treatment is necessary.
