A UTI is an infection in the urinary tract. Infections are caused by microbesâorganisms too small to be seen without a microscope. Bacteria are the most common cause of UTIs. Normally, bacteria that enter the urinary tract are quickly removed by the body before they cause symptoms.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria invade any part of the urinary tract, particularly the urethra or urinary bladder. Bladder infections, also called cystitis, are very common in women because of their anatomy. In fact, 10 to 20 percent of all women have urinary tract discomfort at least once a year. In turn, men do not commonly get UTIs unless they have enlarged prostates.
