Your Lower Abdomen Hurts
Pain in the abdomen can also be a warning sign of UTI. In most of the cases, this is caused by inflammation of the affected organs such as the bladder and urethra fighting the infection. Again, the ideal thing to do as a primary treatment option is to drink plenty of water and other beverages. You can also take over the counter pain medications such as Ibrupfen and diclofenic to soothe pain.
But what an infected person really wants to do is make sure the infection doesn’t spread and extend from the urethra or bladder to the kidneys. This can happen if you left your infection untreated, or you ignore symptoms for quite some time. If it reaches to your kidneys, you will likely experience things like fever, chills, and flank pain. So let your doctor know if any of that sounds familiar.
