10 Bladder Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #1: Dysuria
Dysuria refers to pain during urination, a burning sensation, or discomfort that occurs most commonly due to a bladder infection caused by bacteria. It is usually accompanied by other symptoms of urinary tract infection such as blood in the urine. It can occur in women after intercourse when infection is present.
There are other causes of dysuria such as pyelonephritis (kidney infection), prostatitis (infection of the prostate), or due to sexually transmitted diseases. If you are experiencing prolonged dysuria, it is best to seek medical attention as the infection could spread upwards to the kidneys and cause more severe symptoms.
