UTIs BY JENNIFER BOICE
IF YOU’VE EVER EXPERIENCED A URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI), YOU PROBABLY WON’T SOON FORGET IT. THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT ARE LIKE NOTHING YOU’VE FELT BEFORE AND THE FREQUENT TRIPS TO THE BATHROOM ARE BOTHERSOME, TO SAY THE LEAST. A UTI is a bacterial infection in the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters (tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, and urethra (tube carrying urine from the bladder to the outside of the body). While an infection anywhere in this system constitutes a UTI, they are most commonly found in the urethra and bladder.
