Urinary tract infections are a very common thing. They can affect both men and women, though they are more common in women. Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra and can lead to problems with the bladder, kidneys, and other parts of the urinary system. If you suspect that you have a urinary tract infection, then you may be inclined to wait and see if it gets better by itself. Usually, bacterial infections do clear up on their own, however, it is a good idea to seek out medical assistance if you are having a problem of this nature.
