light bulb icon Welcome to the UTI symptom checker.

This short quiz has been designed to help you identify if you have a UTI, and help you choose the right treatment or course of action depending on the symptoms you’re experiencing.

UTIs are usually infections caused by bacteria called Escherichia coli (E. coli), and typically affect the urethra, bladder, vagina and kidneys. UTIs are very common, and nothing to be embarrassed about, but depending on the severity and the symptoms you are experiencing, it may be necessary to see your doctor for antibiotic treatment.

This is a guide only. For medical advice or diagnosis, see your doctor. This questionnaire is not suitable for individuals younger than 12 years old.
