Common symptoms of urinary tract infections in women include: 1. Urinary irritation symptoms: Frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination are the most common symptoms. Patients may urinate frequently, but with little urine output each time, and may experience a burning sensation or pain in the urethra during urination. 2. Abnormal urine: The urine may become cloudy, have a strong ammonia-like odor, or other unusual smells. 3. Back pain or lower abdominal pain: Sometimes accompanied by discomfort in the腰部 or bladder area. 4. Chills or fever: If the infection spreads to the kidneys, these systemic symptoms may occur. Due to the shorter female urethra, women are more susceptible to bacterial invasion. If the above symptoms appear, prompt medical attention is recommended.
