Don't Ignore These 8 Warning Signs of Bladder Infection

3. Abdominal Pain

A person with a bladder infection may also report pain in the lower abdomen, often caused by bladder spasms. Bacterial growth and inflammation cause irritation of the lining of the bladder, and these are the primary causes of the spasmodic pain. Abdominal pain can indicate a variety of medical concerns, but coupled with painful and frequent urination, it is suggestive of a bladder infection. However, medical evaluation and urine testing are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
