Disease/Condition Glossary
Bladder infection: This is caused primarily by a bacterial infection within the bladder. The most common type of urinary tract infection is a bladder infection. Bacteria enter the urethra, migrate to the bladder, and cause infections. Cloudy or bloody urine, urinating more frequently than usual, pain or burning when urinating, cramping or pressure in the lower back or lower abdomen, foul-smelling urine, or a frequent sensation of urge to urinate are all symptoms. Bladder infections can also result in mild back pain, which is linked to a kidney infection.
