An uncomplicated UTI is an infection in the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) that is not associated with any underlying conditions or complications. Symptoms of an uncomplicated UTI may include:

  • A strong, persistent urge to urinate

  • A burning sensation when urinating

  • Frequent urination in small amounts

  • Cloudy, strong-smelling urine

  • Urine that appears red, bright pink, or cola-colored (indicating blood in the urine)

  • Pelvic pain, particularly in women

What is a complicated UTI?

A complicated UTI is an infection that affects either the upper urinary tract (kidneys and ureters) or is associated with underlying conditions, such as diabetes, pregnancy, or a weakened immune system. Complicated UTIs often require more extensive evaluation and treatment.
