Bladder Infection: Symptoms, Remedies, and Prevention

3. Urinary Retention

Having a bladder infection can cause urinary retention. This is when your bladder is unable to empty completely even when it is full. You may feel the constant urge to urinate but only be able to pee a small amount or be unable to pee at all. It can be acute, which means it happens suddenly, or chronic, which means it recurs over a long period of time

Urinary retention may be caused by a number of things, but it could mean that your bladder is infected or that you have an inflammation in your bladder.
