Urine Color:
When you have a urinary tract infection (UTI), your urine may appear darker or even cloudy. This is due to the presence of bacteria, white blood cells, and other substances in the urine. It may also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a kidney infection. If you notice that your urine has changed color, it’s important to see a doctor right away.
Urine Odor
If you have a UTI, your urine may also have a strong, foul smell. This is due to the bacteria that are present in the urine. The smell may be worse if your infection is not treated.
Frequency and Burning Urination
If you have a UTI, you may also experience increased frequency and burning when you urinate. This is because the bladder is inflamed, making it difficult to pass urine. This symptom is usually accompanied by pain or a burning sensation when you urinate.
Other Symptoms
Other symptoms of a UTI may include fever, fatigue, abdominal pain, and nausea. If you have any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor right away.
If left untreated, a UTI can lead to more serious complications, such as kidney infections and sepsis. Therefore, it’s important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible if you think you may have a UTI.
