What is UTI vs. Bladder Infection Explained about?
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system. UTIs can affect the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) or upper urinary tract (kidneys and ureters). Common symptoms include pain with urination and increased frequency. UTIs are usually caused by E. coli and are typically treated with antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for 3 days. More serious infections like pyelonephritis affecting the kidneys may require hospitalization and IV antibiotics.
