Symptoms of a Bladder Infection

A bladder infection can be an extremely painful problem, but it is also, unfortunately, very common – especially in women. As many as 1 in 3 women, in fact, will have to deal with this issue at some point in their lives. Here are some of the causes of bladder infections as well as signs you may have one.

Causes of Bladder Infections

One of the most common causes of a bladder infection is the E. coli bacterium. However, women can get an infection after sexual intercourse, which makes it easer for bacteria to get to the bladder. Pregnant women are typically at a higher risk due to changes in their urinary tracts. Thankfully, though, this type of infection typically clears up relatively quickly and is usually harmless as long as it is treated.

When a bladder infection occurs in a man, it could be a sign that some sort of underlying condition exists. For example, it may mean there is a blockage in the urinary tract. If you have painful urination accompanied with fever, chills, fever or back or abdominal pain, this could be an indication you could have a kidney issue or an infection of the prostate.

If you have painful urination and you also experience pain in the back or abdomen, vomiting, chills or fever, get to a doctor as soon as possible. This could ben an indication of a prostate infection, a stone in the urinary tract or even kidney disease.
