10 UTI Symptoms

Symptom #5: Abdominal Discomfort
Some individuals may experience discomfort in the lower abdomen, side of the abdomen, or the back. Having a sensation of pressure in the lower abdomen may signify that there is a bladder infection while discomfort in the back may indicate that the infection has moved upwards towards the kidneys. In older patients, they may experience cramping and pain around the bladder and pelvic region.
Many often ignore this issue as they mistaken it for a normal tummy ache. The discomfort is persistent even with changes in position. Abdominal discomfort and back pain can sometimes occur together with other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills.
