Did you know that backache is also a symptom of urinary tract infection?

Urinary tract infection is a type of urinary tract inflammation, which can be divided into upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections are closely related to bacterial infections. The symptoms of urinary tract infection are also very obvious, and patients may experience abnormal urination or abnormal urine.

1. Low back pain

One of the common symptoms of urinary tract infection is low back pain, which mainly occurs when the renal capsule, renal pelvis, and ureter are stimulated. Generally, lower urinary tract infection will not cause low back pain.

2. Abnormal urination

There may be abnormalities in urination, such as pain, urgency, and frequency of urination. Sometimes, urinary incontinence and urine retention may also occur. Chronic urinary tract infection can cause chronic renal failure, which will cause polyuria in the early stage and anuria or oliguria in the later stage. This is mainly related to the patient's prostatitis.

3. Abnormal urine

Urine abnormalities may also occur. Typical symptoms of urinary tract abnormalities include bacteriuria, pneumaturia, hematuria, pyuria, etc.

4. Others

Urinary tract infection will cause frequent urination, urgency, pain, discomfort during urination, etc. These symptoms will be different for different patients. Acute patients will have obvious urinary tract irritation. If the elderly and children suffer from chronic urinary tract infection, the urinary tract irritation symptoms are usually mild, such as mild urgency, frequent urination, discomfort during urination, etc. Urinary tract infection can also cause systemic poisoning symptoms, such as fever, chills, and headache, which mainly occur in patients with upper urinary tract infection, especially in patients with acute urinary tract infection or accompanied by urinary tract infarction.
