A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infection that affects the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
UTIs are incredibly common, affecting millions of people worldwide each year. About half of women will get at least one UTI in their lifetime, and some will have recurrent infections. Men can get UTIs too, but they’re less common.
