Bladder Infections

 

Got a Question?


A bladder infection is an inflammation of the bladder caused by bacteria. The condition is also sometimes referred to as cystitis, although cystitis can have causes other than infection. Microbes may enter the bladder via the urethra, especially when stress, contraceptives, and poor diet have lowered the body's resistance to infection. To prevent and treat bladder infections, drink plenty of water to flush out the system. Unsweetened cranberry juice may help prevent bacteria from sticking in the urinary tract. Certain lifestyle changes also can help prevent cystitis: avoid foaming bath products, vaginal deodorants, and scented soaps. Do not wear tight, synthetic underwear.
