Specializes in Gynecology

Pyelonephritis: Very often a bladder infection can get worse and spread to the kidney. Patients usually have painful urination and also have fever chill back pain nausea malaise etc . If you have these symptoms you may be starting a kidney infection and you need to see a physician asap.
