Which of the following is NOT a symptom associated with lower urinary tract infections?

In the context of lower urinary tract infections (UTIs), the symptoms typically include dysuria (painful urination), hematuria (blood in the urine), and incontinence (loss of bladder control). These symptoms are indicative of irritation and inflammation in the bladder and urethra, which are common in lower UTIs.

Fever, however, is generally not a symptom associated with lower UTIs; instead, it is more commonly seen in upper urinary tract infections, such as pyelonephritis, which involve the kidneys. While some patients may experience a low-grade fever with a lower UTI, it is not a hallmark symptom. Therefore, identifying fever as the symptom not typically linked to lower urinary tract infections is accurate, as it signifies a more systemic response often associated with a higher level of infection.
