How is it like to have a UTI?

I have heard all over the internet about having a UTI as the most infuriating short term health condition.

If you have had one, how painful is it? And how does it feel like to urinate?

I never had one, but I'm pretty sure this is how it will be like:

It will be very uncomfortable and you feel like you don't want to pee but you need to (otherwise it will make UTI worse). It will be irritating to urinate or ejaculate. Also it can be hard to sleep.

It usually is caused by bacteria. There is pain
in ur lower back in area of the kidneys. U have
frequent urination with constant burning. It can
b cleared up with antibiotics or sulfa drugs. I had
it a few times after I had a bad cold.

I had one and it burned in my bladder and when I peed. It also made me feel like i had to pee constantly. A few days on antibiotics and I was back to normal.
