How To Know You Have A Bladder Infection

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

To describe the urinary tract infection in one word, we would say: Pain.

The UTI is caused by E. coli, which is a bacteria that lives around the anus and inside the colon. Females are more likely to get this illness due to their short urethra. It is closer to the anus than it is to males.

Also, improper hygiene and intercourse could lead the bacteria to enter the urinary tract, and then multiply in the bladder, which is its favorite target. If UTI left untreated, this bacteria can travel to your kidneys from your urethra and cause extreme discomfort.

For obvious reasons, it is important to know about all the warning signs that we might be developing the urinary tract infection in order to avoid it completely and treat before it starts spreading. But first, don’t forget to consult a doctor.

#2 – Frequent urination

When you need to go to the restroom, you just need to. But if you find yourself visiting the toilet over eight times or you always wake up in the middle of the night to pee, then you have to see a doctor for it.

The frequent urination is a sign of interstitial cystitis, a UTI that causes pain in the pelvic region and the bladder muscle layers inflammation. This condition will keep giving you a feeling that you need to urinate, even if you produce only a very small amount of it.
