A urinary tract infection (UTI) can lead to a variety of symptoms. According to the references provided, UTIs are commonly associated with symptoms such as pain during urination, frequent urges to urinate, and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. However, they can also cause more systemic symptoms, including nausea.

Symptoms of UTI

  • Pain and discomfort: This is often felt in the lower abdomen or back.
  • Urination issues: Frequent urges to urinate and pain during urination are common.
