prone to UTIs and what symptoms to look out for.
Understanding UTI Symptoms
Urinary Tract Infections can present a range of symptoms, which may vary in intensity and nature. Key symptoms include:
A strong, persistent urge to urinate, or a burning sensation when urinating
Urine that appears cloudy, red, or bright pink-coloured
Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
A sign of blood in the urine
Strong-smelling urine
Pelvic pain in women
If the infection spreads to the kidneys, symptoms can escalate to include upper back and side pain, high fever, shaking and chills, nausea, and vomiting.
Do I have a urinary tract infection (UTI)?
Welcome to the UTI symptom checker.
This short quiz has been designed to help you identify if you have a UTI, and help you choose the right treatment or course of action depending on the symptoms you’re experiencing.
UTIs are usually infections caused by bacteria called Escherichia coli (E. coli), and typically affect the urethra, bladder, vagina and kidneys. UTIs are very common, and nothing to be embarrassed about, but depending on the severity and the symptoms you are experiencing, it may be necessary to see your doctor for antibiotic treatment.
This is a guide only. For medical advice or diagnosis, see your doctor. This questionnaire is not suitable for individuals younger than 12 years old.
Tips for UTI symptom relief
To mitigate the discomfort associated with UTI symptoms, consider the following strategies:
Increase Fluid Intake
Drink plenty of fluids to remain hydrated and flush out your bladder
Avoid Irritants
Substances like caffeine, alcohol, and acidic foods can exacerbate symptoms.
Apply Heat
A heating pad on the lower abdomen can soothe bladder pressure or pain.
