Symptoms

By Mayo Clinic staff

Cystitis symptoms often include:

  • A strong, persistent urge to urinate
  • A burning sensation when urinating
  • Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
  • Blood in the urine (hematuria)
  • Passing cloudy or strong-smelling urine
  • Discomfort in the pelvic area
  • A feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
  • Low-grade fever

In young children, new episodes of bed-wetting (enuresis) also may be a sign of a UTI.
