Types of Urinary Tract Infections

Bacteria usually cause urinary tract infections. When bacteria multiply, they can cause an infection. There are several types of UTI, which affect specific parts of the urinary tract.

 Urethritis. This is an infection that is limited to the urethra.

 Bladder Infection (Cystitis). Cystitis occurs when bacteria move to the bladder, multiply, and cause an infection.

 Kidney Infection (Pyelonephritis). If infection in the bladder is not treated promptly, bacteria can travel to the ureters and can cause an infection of the kidneys. A kidney infection is clinically termed as pyelonephritis.
