Difficulty Passing Urine

Okay. If you are a woman who is having difficulty passing your urine but is making a normal amount of urine over the course of the day, a urinary tract infection is much more likely than a more serious kidney disease. Urinary tract infections deserve medical attention, but certain symptoms can signal a more urgent problem.

Have you had any of the following symptoms?

• fever over 100.5F

• shaking chills

• pain in your flank, back or belly

• blood in the urine.

Yes, I am having one or more of these symptoms.

No, I am not having any of these symptoms.
