What is a Urinary Tract Infection?

A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary system — including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. While UTIs are more common in women and children, they can occur in anyone at any age. Prompt treatment is crucial to avoid kidney damage and recurrent infections.
