Control frequent urges with bladder training Apr 3 6:28pm | By Marie Suszynski, Writer (@mariemayohecs)Comment receiving replies
@cehunt57, I wanted to address your question about differentiating bladder urges or overactive bladder (OAB) from a urinary tract infection (UTI).
I found this article:
- Overactive Bladder vs. Urinary Incontinence and UTI: What’s the Difference? https://www.healthline.com/health/overactive-bladder-vs-urinary-incontinence-vs-uti
"The sudden and frequent urge to urinate is common in both OAB and a UTI. If you don’t have any other symptoms, like discomfort while urinating, you may be experiencing an OAB rather than a UTI. The symptoms of OAB will be ongoing while symptoms of a UTI are sudden and may also be associated with a fever."

@colleenyoung , and all...Hello, Colleen. I just got home from several days in hospital, through the ED with severe diarreha and vomiting, after feeling weaker and lousy for about a month. I kept getting worse with no symptoms of UTI or whatever. The doctors checked for a bunch or bacteria, found no cause.
When moved to a hospital room, I requested a urine test as there wasn't one in ED. I had several UTIIs last year with sepsis and bad infections a nd antibiotic reactions.
The test came back full of bacteria, protein, calcium crystals and more. I had 2 IV antibiotics in ED and think they cleared up the UTI and even a sinus infection!
I've had several UTIs with no symptoms, with frequent and that'd to urinate, but that often happens. How can we have a UTI with no clue? Yes to back ache on the side. Have herniated vertebrae, thought that was issue.
I must know when I have infection!
Suggestions?
Thanks and be well...elizabeth
