Some people get no symptoms with a UTI, but most will have at least some of the following:

• Frequent urge to urinate.
• Painful or burning urination.
• Passing only a small amount of urine.
• Milky or cloudy urine.
• Foul smelling urine.
• Blood in the urine (hematuria).
• Blood may be visible, making the urine dark or reddish.
• Blood may be microscopic and found only by when urine is examined in a laboratory urine test (urinalysis).
• General discomfort or “sick” feeling, such as being tired and/or shaky.
• Pain in the back or side below the ribs.
• Some women feel an uncomfortable pressure above the pubic bone.
• Some men feel a fullness in the rectum.
• Pus in the urine or penile discharge in men may indicate urethritis.
• Fever, chills, nausea or vomiting may indicate pyelonephritis (kidney infection).
