7. Burning pain when urinating
It is clinically named dysuria, and it is caused by an irritation of the urinary tract and the acidity of the passing urine activating nerve terminals on its way to be eliminated. In E. coli acute urinary infections, we usually have what doctors call a urethral syndrome. A syndrome is a combination of signs that usually narrows down the search for a diagnosis to fewer medical entities. The urethral syndrome has two leading signs: dysuria (or burning pain when urinating) along with fever. This burning pain is not likely associated with visible blood in the urine. When this happens, it is typically caused by a secondary infection in patients with kidney stones.
