10 Bladder Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #10: Confusion
Confusion can occur in a bladder infection but is restricted only to the elderly. It may be the only symptom of bladder infection in this age group. Since the elderly also suffer from other medical conditions such as dementia, the correct diagnosis may take some time before the doctor realizes the cause of confusion or increased confusion in those with dementia.
This confusion is also known as delirium. If you noticed that there is increased confusion, withdrawal, irritability, or agitation in an elderly patient, it may be due to a bladder infection.
