Urinary tract is the system that makes urine and carries it out of your body. It includes your bladder and kidneys and the tubes that connect them. When germs get into this system, they can cause an infection.

If you are experiencing burning sensation when urinating, you should consider UTI. Burning sensation when urinating is a common symptom of UTI. Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than men are. Infection limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to your kidneys.

Urinary tract infections typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply in the bladder. Although the urinary system is designed to keep out such microscopic invaders, these defenses sometimes fail. When that happens, bacteria may take hold and grow into a full-blown infection in the urinary tract.

In addition to burning sensation when urinating, UTI can cause other symptoms: A strong, persistent urge to urinate; Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola-colored — a sign of blood in the urine; Passing frequent, small amounts of urine; Strong-smelling urine; Rectal pain, in men; Pelvic pain, in women.

UTI can be cured with antibiotics and herbal medicine. Antibiotics can be seen commonly. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a typical herbal medicine for UTI. Compared with western medicines, traditional Chinese herbal medicine can keep a long-lasting effect, has no side effect and drug resistance. Thus, symptoms of UTI such as burning sensation when urinating can be cured effectively.
