Frequently urinating is the main or most common symptoms of UTI. However, it should be confirms with other symptoms too. Sometimes when we drink fluids like water a lot resulted on peeing frequency double than usual. It is not considered as UTI symptoms. But the volume of water taken is normal but the frequency of urinate is double, you need to aware on this situation.

2. Feel Burning Pain When Urinate
Healthy teens not feel this situation during urinate. Sometimes we may feel a little bit pain (without burning pain) during urinate if we are consume less water. However, if you feel burning pain during urinate, then it may considered as a symptoms of UTI. Burning pain is totally different compare to pain cause of less water consume.
