What are the symptons of a bladder infection?

I have this feeling that I have to use the bathroom but I can’t seem to go. My mom thinks that it’s a bladder infection, but I really don’t know. Can you tell me what you feel before a bladder infection?

You can always try taking some Cranberry and Acidophilus. They’re available at all health foods stores, Walmart, GNC, etc. If it’s just a UTI and not a bladder or kidney infection, then those supplements help. Also, stay away from sugar, sodas, liquor/beer, yeasts, etc until the UTI is gone.

Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms
Lower urinary tract infection (cystitis): The lining of the urethra and bladder becomes inflamed and irritated.

•Dysuria – Pain or burning during urination
•Frequency – More frequent urination (or waking up at night to urinate)
•Urgency – The sensation of not being able to hold urine
•Hesitancy – The sensation of not being able to urinate easily or completely (or feeling that you have to urinate but only a few drops of urine come out)
•Cloudy, bad smelling, or bloody urine
•Lower abdominal pain
•Mild fever (less than 101°F), chills, and “just not feeling well” (malaise)
Upper urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis): Symptoms develop rapidly and may or may not include the symptoms for a lower urinary tract infection.

•Fairly high fever (higher than 101°F)
•Shaking chills
•Nausea
•Vomiting
•Flank pain – Pain in your back or side, usually on only one side at about waist level

    like you said, you feel like you urgently need to go but when you do nothing happens. And when you do go it burns, sometimes only and little and sometimes allot.

    It also depends though, bladder infections can be caused by your kidneys getting to cold, for example, if your lower back is exposed to the air when its cold.

    It could be a bladder infection so you better see the doctor.

    I’ve had it before and the symptons you described are the same.

    Good Luck!!

    here are some of the symptoms:
    There are a number of symptoms associated with UTIs. Bladder infections are characterized by an urgent desire to empty the bladder. Symptoms include frequent urination, burning or pain during urination (dysuria), bladder spasms and the feeling of having to urinate even though little or no urine actually comes out. In some cases, cloudy, bloody or foul-smelling urine, and maybe a mild fever can accompany a UTI.
