UTI SYMPTOMS

Urinary tract infections often start with a faint prickly, ‘unfinished’ feeling when you’re urinating.

You might also experience other common symptoms of cystitis including:

• A burning or stinging sensation when urinating
• An urge to urinate frequently, but only passing small amounts of urine
• Cloudy, bloody or strong-smelling urine
• Pain above the pubic bone

If left untreated, cystitis can lead to serious complications. If you have any of the following symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible:

• Blood in your urine
• Fever
• Nausea or vomiting
• Back pain or pain on your sides (in the kidney area)
