Posted by

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs when microorganisms (usually bacteria from the digestive tract) cling to the opening of the urethra and begin to multiply.

Cause
Most infections are caused by one type of bacteria (Escherichia coli) that normally live in the colon. In most cases, bacteria first begin growing in the urethra and then move on to the bladder, causing a bladder infection (cystitis). If the infection is not treated right away, bacteria may move up the ureters to infect the kidneys.
