Then, if not treated, it will go up to the bladder and will cause pain if you are stopping yourself to urinate. Next, the dangerous part, it will go up through ureter and the stage 3, ascension, where bacteria goes to kidneys through the ureters and continue to infect it. And once it reaches the kidneys, there will be an infection of the renal parynchema causing an inflammatory response called Pyelonephritis.
