How can you tell if you have a UTI?

It doesnt burn..I'm just cramping and peeing...a lot.

uti's are usually very uncomfortable/painful. you feel like you really have to pee but when you try nothing comes out and it feelts like there is a clamp on your bladder. best way to sum it up is that it feels like you are pissing razor blades.

i don't know about cramping but last time i thought i had a UTI (cause i was peeing a WHOLE BUNCH), it turned out that i'd just had more caffeine than usual. caffeine is a diuretic so it makes you pee more. surprisingly, the affects lasted several days (i generally drink NO soda or coffee, and i think i'd had several cups of soda in one meal).

Peeing frequently can be a sign too, but it's usually accompanied by an uncomfortable or nasty feeling just after peeing, or by frequent peeing in really small amounts. Triple your water intake and drink pure cranberry juice.

my symptoms were blood in my pee, nasty cramping in my bladder after urination, frequent urination, the intense need to pee even though i'd just emptied my bladder, and also back aches around my kidney area. the consistancy, color, concentration and odor of my pee was irregular, too.

As well as the pain, your urine can also have a bad smell, and be cloudy. The cloudiness is from blood and/or pus in your urine. When I have a UTI, my urine smells kind of like rotten eggs. Ick!
