In general, the most common symptoms of a urinary tract infection involve the process of urination:
- Pain or a burning feeling during urination
- A feeling of urgency, or feeling the need to urinate frequently
- An altered appearance of the urine, either bloody (red) or cloudy (containing pus)
- Pain or pressure in the rectum (men) or in the area of the pubic bone (women)
- Passing only a tiny amount of urine even when the urge to urinate is strong
