If you get a burning sensation when you’re urinating, it could signal a urinary tract infection (UTI). “Feeling the burn” is a good thing when you’re lifting weights or on a long run, but not when you have a UTI.

In addition to traditional treatments, many UTI home remedies — like taking probiotics, drinking plenty of water, and drinking cranberry juice — may help. Better yet, these home remedies may prevent you from getting UTIs in the first place!

UTIs are one of the most common health complaints, responsible for lost work and school days — and just plain misery. Urinary infections are one of the top reasons that people see a doctor — and yes, men can get UTIs, although they’re more common in women.

More than half of women will have at least one urinary infection at some point during their life.[1] More than 150 million people get UTIs each year.[2]

What Is a Urinary Tract Infection?

UTIs occur when microbes, usually bacteria, cause an infection in any part of your urinary tract, which includes the urethra (a tube that drains the urine from the body), the bladder, the ureters (two tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder) and the kidneys.

Most UTIs occur in the bladder and urethra, and, if not treated promptly, can travel upwards to the kidneys, where it may become more serious. An infection of the bladder alone is called cystitis.

In most cases, a bacteria called Escherichia coli (E. coli), causes the infection, although rarely, it’s caused by a virus. While many E. coli strains are harmless and found inside the intestines, when these bacteria enter the urinary tract, they can cause infections.
