What is Urine?

Urine (pee) is a byproduct of your blood-filtering system, which your kidneys perform. Your kidneys create pee when they remove waste products and excess water from your blood. Pee usually moves through your urinary system without any contamination.

What is the urinary tract?

The urinary tract makes and stores pee. It includes,
Kidneys: Kidneys are small, bean-shaped organs on the back of your body, above your hips. They filter water and waste products from your blood, which becomes pee. Common wastes include urea and creatinine.
Ureters: These are thin tubes that carry pee from your kidneys to your bladder.
Bladder: Bladder is a balloon-like organ that stores pee before it leaves your body.
Urethra: The urethra is a tube that carries pee from your bladder to the outside of your body.

What is Urinary Tract Infection?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of the urinary system. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract the bladder and the urethra.
Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men. If an infection is limited to the bladder, it can be painful and annoying. But serious health problems can result if a UTI spreads to the kidneys.

What are the types and symptoms of UTI?

Each type of UTI may result in more-specific symptoms. The symptoms depend on which part of the urinary tract is affected.
