In the realm of our bodies, a tale unfolds,
Of urinary paths and tales yet untold.
A UTI, a silent foe, it dwells within,
A story of discomfort, where pain begins.

From kidneys' embrace to the bladder's hold,
Urethra's journey, a tale to be told.
In this system intricate, the UTI thrives,
A bacterial invasion, where health derives.

The bladder's call, known as cystitis, they say,
With symptoms that often come our way.
Frequent urges, an urgent plea,
Painful burning, a sign to see.

Cloudy or bloody, a change in the stream,
Strong-smelling urine, a nightmarish dream.
In the lower abdomen, discomfort's sway,
A signal that something's not okay.

In older years, confusion may arise,
Behavioral changes, a cruel surprise.
UTIs vary in their degrees of might,
From mild affliction to a daunting fight.

Unattended, they may climb the slope,
To infect the kidneys, bringing a fevered hope.
Back pain and chills, they too may bear,
A kidney infection, a heavier scare.

Women, more often, in their grasp they hold,
This ailment due to their anatomy's mold.
A shorter path, closer to the rear,
A path for bacteria, it seems quite clear.

But fear not, for treatments do exist,
Antibiotics wielded, with a healing twist.
Seek medical aid, don't delay your quest,
For complications can arise from this guest.

To prevent these troubles that ail and annoy,
Good hygiene is your ally, your ultimate ploy.
Stay well-hydrated, and in love be wise,
To protect your realm from UTI's surprise.

So remember this tale, of the UTI's reign,
A journey through the urinary domain.
With knowledge in hand, you'll find your way,
To keep these infections at bay.
