A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection of the bladder and associated structures. In cases uncomplicated UTI—also known as cystitis or lower UTI—the patient has no structural abnormality or comorbidities, such as diabetes, an immunocompromised state, or pregnancy. Bacteriuria alone does not constitute a UTI without symptoms. Typical symptoms include urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic discomfort, and dysuria. Forty percent of women in the United States will develop a UTI during their lifetime, making it one of the most common infections in women. UTIs are uncommon in circumcised men; by definition, any male UTI is usually considered complicated.
Many cases of uncomplicated UTIs will resolve spontaneously, without treatment, but many patients seek therapy for symptom relief. Treatment is aimed at preventing spread to the kidneys or development into upper tract disease/pyelonephritis, which can cause the destruction of the delicate structures in the nephrons and eventually lead to hypertension.
