Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) include:

- burning sensation on passing urine
- need to pass urine more frequently than usual
- need to rush to get to the toilet in time to pass urine (sometimes incontinence may occur)
- sensation of needing to pass urine but being unable to do so
- cloudy urine (which may be foul smelling)
- blood present in the urine
- feeling unwell
- fever

Drinking plenty of fluids will always help (as normal we should all drink around 6-8 glass of water each day). Cranberry juice or cranberry extract tablets have found to be helpful.

Someone who has symptoms of UTI and is pregnant or diabetic should see their doctor as quickly as possible.
