What urinary tract infection?

Answer 1

The urinary tract (UTI) is the path that urine (Pee) travels from the bladder, through the urethra to the exit of the body at the Vagina or Penis. The lining of the urethra becomes infected, swollen & painful & the urine smells strong & is often discolored.

An increase in temperature often follows any infection & a strong burning sensation usually happens with passing urine.

UTI's

can also be symptoms of Sexually Transmitted diseases (STD's)

so they should not be taken lightly.

There are a few home remedies, and Over the counter remedies that ease the pain but antibiotics will clear it up pretty fast, it is a good idea to see a Dr to make sure it is nothing more and get the antibiotics.

When an infection reaches your bladder or kidneys, this is termed urinary track infection. These infections often originate from your stool, which carries bacteria that lives in your large intestine, and enters the urinary track through your urethra (the whole where the pee comes out). Bladder infections are the most common.
