Abstract

A urinary tract infection is an infection of the lower urinary tract, or the urethra and bladder. It is most commonly acquired from spread of bacteria from the vagina or anus. Symptoms include urinary frequency, urinary urgency, pain or discomfort with urination, foul smelling urine and lower abdominal pain/discomfort. Your doctor can diagnose this infection with simple tests and treat it with a short course of antibiotics. There are ways of preventing UTIs with behavior modifications, including drinking more water or adding cranberry juice or extract to your diet.
