Bladder Infection: Symptoms, Remedies, and Prevention

8. Abdominal Pain

A bladder infection, or any urinary tract infection for that matter, can be painful. A common symptom is a feeling of pressure or cramping in the lower abdomen or lower back. The area of pain can expand if the infection moves to your kidney. This may cause the ache to spread to your mid-back. This kind of pain is persistent and changing your position will bring no relief.
