About this symptom

UTI or Feels Like

The confusion between symptoms of early pregnancy and urinary tract infections/bladder infections comes up often. Although the two are not related there is some crossover between the symptoms and causes of both. Frequent sometimes painful urination, lower back pain, and other similar symptoms are experienced by women who are pregnant but do not have a UTI or vice versa. If you suspect you may have a UTI or bladder infection be sure to see your healthcare provider as they can lead to kidney infections if left untreated.

Includes: Urinary Tract Infection or just feels like it. Dull pains/pressure in bladder, or it may feel like your bladder is full.
