UTI’s - What are the symptoms of a urine infection?
Infection in the
bladder (cystitis) usually causes pain when you pass urine. You pass urine
more frequently. You may also have pain in your lower tummy (abdomen). Your
urine may become cloudy, bloody or offensive-smelling. You may have a high
temperature (fever).
Infection in the
kidneys
may cause you to feel generally unwell. There may be a pain in your back. This
is usually around the side of the back (the loin), where each kidney is
located. You may have a high fever. You may feel sick, or be sick (vomit).
In some
older people
the only symptoms of the urine infection may be a recent onset of confusion or
just feeling generally unwell. The confusion is caused by a combination of
factors such as having a fever and having a lack of fluid in the body
(dehydration). The confusion should pass when the infection has been treated.
