Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a group of infections of the urinary tract (the body’s drainage system for removing urine).

The most common UTI is cystitis, which is an infection of the bladder (where urine is stored). Other UTIs involve the urethra (the tube between the bladder and the outside known as urethritis) or kidneys (pyelonephritis).
