142 verified reviewsA bladder infection is a urinary tract infection confined to the bladder, usually caused by bacteria such as E. coli, causing burning, urgency and cloudy or bloody urine. Most infections clear with a course of antibiotics, though left untreated they can spread to the kidneys.
A persistent, urgent need to urinate, often only passing small amounts at a time.
A burning or stinging sensation is one of the most common symptoms.
Urine may appear cloudy or bloody, or have a strong odour.
Localised discomfort - pain in the pelvic area, urgency and frequent urination, with cloudy or strong-smelling urine.
Affects the urethra rather than the bladder, causing burning with urination and discharge.
More serious, with severe back or side pain, high fever, chills, nausea and vomiting - needs immediate attention. See kidney infection.
Symptoms that will not settle deserve prompt assessment, usually within a few days.
A urine test or culture confirms the infection and identifies the bacteria involved, with imaging if infections keep recurring.
A course of antibiotics matched to the bacteria found, plus advice to reduce the chance of it coming back.
