Answer 2

Bladder infections are known as cystitis or inflammation of the bladder. They are common in women but very rare in men.
Bladder infections are not serious if treated right away. But they tend to come back in some people. This can lead to kidney infections, which are more serious and may result in permanent kidney damage. So it's very important to treat the underlying causes of a bladder infection and to take preventive steps to keep them from coming back..

Bladder infections can be quite uncomfortable and potentially serious. But for most women, they clear up quickly and are relatively harmless if treated.

In recent years, more and more bladder infections come from two sexually transmitted bacteria: chlamydia and mycoplasma.

Answer 3

I don't want to say no because it depends on how long you have had it and if it is recurrent and you may have renal failure from ongoing infections over a period of years. But why would anyone not want to be treated immediately? It is the worse case scenario for pain other than giving birth and oh, it can lead to cancer of the bladder which is serious and cause death.

Answer 4

Any infection has the possibility of killing a person, because of it's potentiality of migrating within the body via any blood stream. For example, a very long-term UTI (urinary tract infection) leading to Meningitis (an infection located at the brain).

Also, the TYPE of micro-organism responsible for the infection has an important role as well, because some micro-organisms infect and multiple faster than other micro-organisms. The faster ones tend to kill the body, if untreated.

Answer 5

Not if you take care of it. A bladder infection is caused by either having sex too much and not peeing after, or any type of prolonged exposure to unclean stuff. if it goes untreated (meaning you dont notice the excrutiating pain) then it can travel up from your bladder to your kidneys and infect them. You can die from a kidney infection if not treated.

Answer 6

i dont know if i would consider it a death sentence. but if its left untreated you can get really sick from it. it starts out as a bladder infection. if left untreated, it will become a kidney infection...both are very painful if left untreated. call the doctor and just get some antiobiotics. you will feel a lot better.

Answer 7

YES YOU CAN BUT IT WOULD TAKE AWHILE FOR THE INFECTION TO SPREAD THROUGHOUT YOUR SYSTEM.
Anyone can die from an infection. Drink lots of water. And if the urge to pea starts to burn or become uncomfortable, keep drinking water and warm a hot bag up and put it between your legs, it helps a lot

Answer 8

Well it's an infection it can spread very quickly. Anything that remains untreated only gets worse. You could die from any infection.

Answer 9

As with any infection, if it goes untreated, it can be fatal. Get to a doctor so you can ease the pain and get some medicine.

Answer 10

You can die from any infection.
And people do....all of the time.

Answer 11

just like with any infection, it can spread to other areas of the body, blood, organs, etc, etc. If not treated correctly u can get sepsis, and go into septic shock
