A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection of the urinary tract. The infection can occur at different points in the urinary tract, including:
Bladder -- An infection in the bladder is also called cystitis or a bladder infection.
Kidneys -- An infection of one or both kidneys is called pyelonephritis or a kidney infection.
Ureters -- The tubes that take urine from each kidney to the bladder are rarely the only site of infection.
Urethra -- An infection of the tube that empties urine from the bladder to the outside is called urethritis.

Causes of Urinary tract infection
Most UTIs are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and then the bladder. The infection most commonly develops in the bladder, but can spread to the kidneys. Most of the time, your body can get rid of these bacteria. However, certain conditions increase the risk of having UTIs. Women tend to get them more often because their urethra is shorter and closer to the anus than in men. Because of this, women are more likely to get an infection after sexual activity or when using a diaphragm for birth control. Menopause also increases the risk of a UTI. The following also increase your chances of developing a UTI:
-- Advanced age and conditions that affect personal care habits (such as Alzheimer Disease and delirium)
-- Problems emptying the bladder completely
-- Having a urinary catheter
-- Bowel incontinence
-- Enlarged prostate, narrowed urethra, or anything that blocks the flow of urine
-- Pregnancy
 
Symptoms of Urinary tract infection
-- Cloudy or bloody urine, which may have a foul or strong odor
-- Low fever in some people
-- Pain or burning with urination
-- Pressure or cramping in the lower abdomen or back
-- Strong need to urinate often, even right after the bladder has been emptied
