In this episode of GynoInfo, I break down urinary tract infections (UTIs) in plain, everyday language.

We’ll talk about the difference between a bladder infection (lower UTI) and a kidney infection (upper UTI) — because the symptoms and urgency are very different.

I cover:

• Burning with urination and frequent peeing
• Pubic bone pressure and cloudy urine
• When you can try fluids, ibuprofen, or cranberry juice
• When antibiotics are necessary
• Warning signs of a kidney infection (fever, mid-back pain, chills)
• Why not all burning is a UTI (yeast, STDs, urethritis)
• What a clean-catch urine sample actually means

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this a UTI?” or “Do I need antibiotics?” — this episode will help you think it through calmly and clearly.
