1. **Frequent Urination**: A strong urge to urinate more often than usual.
2. **Burning Sensation**: Feeling a burning sensation or pain when urinating.
3. **Cloudy Urine**: Urine that appears cloudy or has a strong odor.
4. **Blood in Urine**: Presence of blood, which can make the urine appear pink, red, or brown.
5. **Pelvic Pain**: Discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic area.
6. **Feeling of Incomplete Emptying**: A sensation of not fully emptying the bladder.
7. **Urge Incontinence**: Sudden, intense urges to urinate that may lead to involuntary leakage.
8. **Nausea or Vomiting**: May occur in more severe cases, especially if the infection has spread to the kidneys.
9. **Fever and Chills**: These symptoms may indicate a more serious kidney infection (pyelonephritis).

If you suspect you have a UTI, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
