A member asked:
Do urinary tract infections usually cause severe abdominal pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: However, urine infections can travel up from the bladder to involve the kidney (pyleonephritis), which can infect and inflame the kidney tissue. This can result in remarkable pain and being "really sick." an "ascending" infection like this is uncommon. But, see your doctor if you think the symptoms are there!
