5. Burning when Urinating
If you experience any kind of burning feeling or discomfort when urinating, then it’s almost sure that you have some kind of kidney infection – or urinary tract infection, which can be directly related to a kidney infection since all of these systems are interconnected within your body. Your kidneys filter out any toxins in your body, and will also filter out any excess vitamins and minerals that your body is unable to absorb.
This is why the first place you will notice a kidney infection is often in the urine – which will usually change in colour in addition to being painful and uncomfortable. You might also experience bouts of incontinence if the kidney infection is in more advanced stages, and should make an immediate appointment with your doctor if this is the case. Burning when urinating can also signal symptoms of certain sexually transmitted diseases; take note if you have had unprotected sex.
