Anyone know symptoms of bladder infection?!

Anyone know symptoms of bladder infection?

i dont know if i have it or not. but when i pee it kinda burns and feels like i gotta go pee really bad right after im done peeing. im also on birth control and im sexually active.. can this have anything to do with it?

There are over the counter test kits that you can get at the pharmacy (they test for certain things present in your urine). It does sound like you might have a UTI, or urinary tract infection. With UTI's and bladder infections, it often feels like you have to urinate nearly constantly, but often when you give in to that urge, there is barely any urine. Burning and pain is quite common, and blood is sometimes present as well (depending upon how far along the infection has gone).

It is very common for women who are sexually active to get UTI's, which can then lead to bladder infections. What happens is bacteria get forced up into the ureter, where they "take hold", and cause the infection.

Go down to your pharmacy, and have a look see for that OTC test. Also, look into buying some cranberry concentrate capsules, as well as some Azo urinary pain relief (OTC phenopyridine HCl - this will help with any sort of pain/burning you have right now. It will make your urine turn orange/red though, so don't worry.). Also, start drinking a LOT of water. This will help to flush the bacteria from your system (oh, and the cranberry extract will help loosen up the bacteria, so they can be flushed out more easily).

You may have to end up calling your physician, or going into a clinic to get some anti-biotics (any of the sulfide class of antibiotics will help).

Good luck ;o)
