Infection in the Bladder- The reason for infection in the bladder can be having diabetes, and unhealthy sexual intercourse. It is seen to happen in pregnant women commonly due to hormonal changes leading to relaxing of the bladder muscles and thus delay in a clearing.
Constipation- Due to constipation people face difficulty in emptying their stomach, therefore, making way for bacteria to grow and cause infection. Also uncontrolled feces i.e., loose stools which may have bacteria can easily be able to make their way to the vagina.
Holding Urine for Longer- Most people get UTI if they control urine for a longer period of hours which gives way to bacteria already present in the bladder to overgrow and thus causing infection.
Dehydration- Keeping your body dehydrated for a longer time would lead to less urination thereby infections in the body are not flushed out.

Irritating and Painful Urination- The condition is called dysuria where the persons experience a burning sensation, and itchiness while passing urine.
Pelvic Pain- Pelvic is the lower abdominal area of the women which also includes the sexual organs. Pelvic is the house of bladder, womb, and ovaries therefore pain in any of these areas can be a possible symptom of the urinary tract infection.
Strong Odor Urine- Urine contains water and a small concentration of the waste or byproducts of our body. It is seen urine with foul, fishy, and sweet smells can be an indicator of UTI.
Rectal Area- Swelling and inflammation of the prostate gland is called prostatitis. This will cause pain between the scrotum and anus or the lower back, penis, or testes.
