Bladder Infection: Let Amory Urgent Care Help You Get Past the Discomfort

A bladder infection, sometimes called a urinary tract infection (UTI), is an infection in any part of your urinary system. This includes not just the bladder but also the kidneys, ureters, and urethra. Most often, however, this type of infection involves the lower urinary tract: the bladder and urethra.

What Causes Bladder Infections?

Bladder infections are caused by germs or bacteria that enter the urinary tract through the urethra and travel into the bladder. Although the urinary system is designed to keep out such microscopic invaders, these defenses sometimes fail. Once bacteria reach the bladder, they can rapidly spread and travel to the kidneys.

Symptoms Can Vary Depending On Which Part of the Urinary Tract is Infected

  • A painful, burning, or stinging sensation while urinating
  • Urges to urinate often, but little to no urine comes out
  • The belly feels tender
  • Cloudy or bloody urine
  • Foul-smelling urine
  • A pain on one side of your back (where the kidneys are located)
  • Fever
