10 Bladder Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Pain in the Lower Abdomen or Back
When the bladder infection spreads upwards towards the kidneys, it can cause pain in the back. The irritation of the bladder due to infection also causes pain in the lower abdomen. Any pressure in the region of your pelvis specifically near the pubic bone can be very uncomfortable.
Unlike muscular pain, this pain is persistent despite the change in position or activity. Kidney infections are much more serious than a bladder infection and require urgent medical care. Pain in the lower abdomen or back can occur together with fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting.
