Although the urine does not contain bacteria, sometimes bacteria from outside sources can enter the urinary tract and cause infections of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urinary tract. The most common infection occurs in the bladder.
Some symptoms of a UTI are frequent urination; pain or burning when urinating; unusually colored urine; blood in the urine and fever.
Before any infection develops, it is best to see a doctor, who will determine the type of infection and follow up.
There are some preventive measures that can reduce the risk of these infections, such as drinking enough water each day, practicing good genital area hygiene, not suppressing the urge to urinate, wearing cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing.
