The Urge To Pee Is Strong
Of note, the symptoms of UTI will depend on several factors such as the severity of the infection, the site of infection, and your immune response. That said, a strong, persistent urge to urinate is another early sign to watch out for. This is due to the area of your urethra and bladder becoming inflamed secondary to the infection. The inflammation and swelling of the affected organs put pressure on the nearby receptors that stimulate the signals when you need to urinate. This makes it feel like you need to go to the bathroom.
