What are the symptoms of a bladder infection?

Answer 1

you might have a pain tht feels like cannon balls hitting inside of your stomache...its very uncompterble!

The most common symptoms are pain or burning when you go pee. Or a lot of uncomfortable pressure. And the feeling that you have to pee a lot, but can't hold it. And when you do go, there isn't much there. You can even have a reddish tint to your urine. It most likely needs to be treated with antibiotics, so you need to go see a doctor.

I have had several bladder infections. When I get them, I know now within a couple of hours if it is really a bladder infection or not. The most common sign is the need to go pee every few minutes, when you do go pee, there is a lot of pain and cramping in your bladder, and when it comes out, your urethra and 'pee hole opening' burn and sting and stuff. Its the funniest thing - it feels so good and SO AWFUL to pee, all at the same time. May I suggest though, from someone who is practically an expert on the subject, drink LOTS!!! of water as SOON as you feel any kind of discomfort in your bladder or when you go pee. When you get a bladder infection or irritation, you tend to STOP drinking all together because it hurts so much to go pee, but doing that actually only makes the problem worse. If you drink lots of water it cleans out your bladder and washed away the bacteria which makes the pain lessen. As well, for people with reoccurung bladder problems buy cranberry pills. You can purchase them just about anywhere that sells vitamins. Just take one a day... and I tell ya, it keeps the doctor away. If you feel a bladder infection coming on take a couple cranberry extract pills immediately, and then take 1-2 every couple hours after that, and make sure you drink your water! Cranberry pills have a cleansing and almost anti-biotic affect. Ask your pharmasist. Another quick fix is cranberry juice (for those who enjoy the taste). But not cranberry cocktail. Make sure it's the real McCoy by checking the ingredients and making sure it is 100% cranberry juice. One last recommendation is to take a sitz bath. Fill the tub up with water hot enough that you can stand, just enough to cover your privates. Add a good half cup to full cup of regular table salt or epsom salt and sit in it - with your legs spread - for as long as possible or until the water cools down. Not only is this soothing, the salt will also kill some of the bacteria. Tips for avioding a bladder infection or bladder irritation are - make sure you keep yourself clean and bathed. 75% of the time, bladder infections are caused by feces (poop) making ots way into your bladder. Make sure when you wipe after using the toilet, you are careful about doing it by wiping from front to back and by wiping thoroughly (especially if you wear thongs a lot). When you have sex, try to make it a habit to go pee when you are done, that way you flush out any bacteria that may gotten up there from intercourse. If you have to go pee, go. Do't hold it for longer than you have to. If all else fails and it just doesn't go seem to wanna go away, antibiotics are probably needed.
