OT-UTI

So I know this is really off topic, but I also know many pregnant women get these while pregnant so they might be able to help me. Apparently I have a UTI in addition to the other problems, and I was wondering what they can also cause. I've been cramping and getting back pain where my kidneys are. (They also said I have an upper kidney infection) And the doctor said it can cause vomiting and nausea. Has anyone else ever heard of this? I thought it just caused problems with urination and nothing else. How would it even affect the rest of the body?

The one time I had a UTI it got into my kidneys. it made me really tired and weak and I was very superdydrated. They gave me IV fluids, antibiotics and I took home antibiotics and was better quickly.

a uti is just a bladder infection. an upper kidney infection is just a upper urinary tract infection. upper kidney infection is known as pyelonephritis. it comes with abdominal pain going from the back to whichever side is affected. there is some tenderness of the bladder area and on the side of the kidney that hurts. it acute cases it can cause nausea and vomiting. you can look it up to find out more. i had an uncomplicated uti and i was given antibiotics and it was gone within a week. if you an occurence and it comes and goes then your dr. will give you antibiotics and some treatment.
