Symptom 7: Urgent need to urinate frequently
An urgent need to urinate frequently can be a symptom of a kidney infection. In this section, we’ll discuss why this occurs, how to recognize it, and when to seek medical help.
An urgent need to urinate frequently during a kidney infection can result from the inflammation and irritation of the urinary tract. The infection may cause the bladder to become more sensitive, leading to an increased sensation of needing to urinate. Additionally, the body may try to flush out the bacteria by producing more urine, which can contribute to the urgency and frequency of urination.
The urgent need to urinate frequently is characterized by a sudden, intense urge to pass urine, often accompanied by a need to visit the restroom more often than usual. You may find it challenging to hold your urine and may need to go to the toilet immediately. If you experience this symptom in conjunction with others on this list, it’s essential to take them seriously and consult a healthcare professional.
If you’re experiencing an urgent need to urinate frequently along with other kidney infection symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing complications and ensuring a successful recovery. (7)
