A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra.
Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men. Infection limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to your kidneys.
Doctors typically treat urinary tract infections with antibiotics. But you can take steps to reduce your chances of getting a UTI in the first place.

Symptoms
Urinary tract infections don't always cause signs and symptoms, but when they do they may include:
-A strong, persistent urge to urinate
-A burning sensation when urinating
-Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
-Urine that appears cloudy
-Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola-colored — a sign of blood in the urine
-Strong-smelling urine
-Pelvic pain, in women — especially in the center of the pelvis and around the area of the pubic bone
UTIs may be overlooked or mistaken for other conditions in older adults.
