I thought the same thing.
Here is the information I found on the subject.
"Complications of UTIs are not common but do occur. Serious complications can include permanent kidney damage and widespread infection (sepsis), which can be life-threatening. The risk is greater if the infection is not treated or if the infection does not respond to antibiotics."
It looks to me like a uterine infection wouldn't be that likely, if even possible, except because of sepsis. But the urgency is still important. If you don't catch it then it can cause damage to the kidneys.
