Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are no laughing matter. That burning sensation, constant urge to pee, and lower abdominal pain can turn even the most optimistic day into a miserable one. But before you resign yourself to a week of hot water bottles and cranberry juice, know this: you’re not alone, and help is just a click away.

Why are UTIs so common in women?

Our anatomy plays a big part. Women have shorter urethras, making it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder, the most common site of a UTI. Hormonal changes, sexual activity, and even using harsh soaps can also tip the balance in favor of those pesky microbes.

Symptoms to watch out for:

• Frequent urination, even in small amounts
• Burning pain during urination
• Urgency to urinate, even when your bladder is empty
• Cloudy or bloody urine
• Lower abdominal pain or cramping
• Fever or chills

Don’t panic, get tested!
