Can a urinary tract infection cause headaches?!
Question:
Can a urinary tract infection cause headaches?
Answers:
I think it probably could, but I would be wondering if you have a kidney infection which would effect you in more ways than a regular bladder infection. A kidney infection could have these symptoms:
Fever
Chills
Flank pain -- pain in the middle or sides of the back.
Abdominal pain -- over the bladder (suprapubic) located in the middle-lower part of the abdomen
Vomiting
Headache
Foul odor
Cloudy urine
There may be symptoms of lower Urinary Tract Infections
Dysuria-painful urination
Burning upon urination
Hematuria -- Blood in the Urine
Frequent urination
Diarrhea
Difficulty with urination -- such as initiating the urinary stream, bed wetting, frequent nighttime urination (nocturia) may also be present depending on the cause and risk factors.
Elderly patients may experience confusion and mental status changes.
