UTI Symptom for Women #1: Frequent Urination

One of the very first symptoms that a person usually notices when they are starting to develop a urinary tract infection is frequent urination. They frequently start finding themselves having to go to the bathroom - and the urge can be quite strong, causing them to drop whatever they are doing and run to the nearest bathroom.

When this symptom develops, it is advised that a person pay attention and look for other symptoms that may signal the presence of a bacterial infection in their urinary tract.
