Bladder infections stink! I suffer with
those myself....Alot! The only remedy I
know of is drinking cranberry juice drinks
and staying away from teas and colas. I
am an avid coke drinker and the doctor
always tells me that that is the one thing
I should avoid.

Bladder Infections Posted: 10-28-03 15:02pm
I was wondering if their was a home remedy
for a bladder infection. I think I have
one but I am not sure. The only
difference is how often I have to urinate.
It doesn't hurt nor burn. I just have to
go more often. Then again I find myself
drinking a lot more right now.

I am plagued with it...Since I was
little.
Drink plenty of water/juice..Cranberry
apparently is good. But fluids in
general. Pop and coffee and tea are
apparently bad for it but, we all need it
once in a while.
I notice if I don't get enough fluids, I
get one. But just lasts that urination.
A few months ago, I had the worst! After
I peed, at the end it would hurt like a
knife stabbing me and blood would come
out. Was horrible! I got antibiotics for
it.

Ok. I think I might have a bladder
infection, but I am not positive. I have
had them before. But I go to the bathroom
and it hurts to urinate and then when I
wipe there's blood. I'm not on my period
or anything. Could I possibly be
pregnant? Please get back to me asap

I always had a urinary tract infection, I
take an herb called acidopholous, its the
active culture in yogurt and it is very
healthy for woman to take, it helps to
control all the bacterias and it helps
with utis, instead of drinking cranberry
juice every day, which can be harsh for
your stomach, you can also try
cranberry/blueberry pills, by azo the
combination of both works better than the
cranberry alone, you can by both at any
pharmacies, walmart etc, if you have an
herbal shop in your town they sell live
acidopholous, basically its refrigerated,
its a little more potent than the ones on
the shelves. For woman who take
antibiotics, should definately take the
acidopholous, your more prone to utis when
taking antibiotics, if you cant find the
acidopholous, eat a yogurt a day, these
really do help any one have any questions,
pm me hope this works, good luck

Tips From the Bladder-master Posted: 05-28-04 19:20pm
I am an expert in bladder infections. I
get them at least once or twice a year.
I have found that the best ways to prevent
them are:
drink a lot of water every day, as much as
you can.
Drink cranberry juice by the gallons
whenever you begin to feel the burn.
Eat a yogurt a day. (i just started
doing this and I haven't had one since)
always get up and go to the bathroom to
pee after sex. Even if you dont' have
to.
Always pee after you take a bath. Even
if you don't have to.
And if it gets to the point where there's
blood in your urine, go to the doctor and
get antibiotics. Once I waited so long
that my kidneys started to ache. That
was scarry. You don't want kidney
problems later on.
I just think that some people are more
susceptible to them than others. After
reading the other posts here, I see i'm
right.

Uti-s Posted: 06-05-04 04:00am
symptoms of uti-s can be produced by otehr
infections too - chlamydia, yeast
infection, ureaplasma - and their
(antibiotic) treatment is different.
Be aware.
i've also experienced uti-s. But it was
another problem too.
After bladder and kidney infections (the
last one was quite owfull ) and lots of
antibiotics for a while everything were
allright. But suddenly the strange
unwanted feeling of peeing started again.
But without any other symptom - cluody,
bloody, smelling urine. And I kept trying
to treat an uti (fearing from another
kidney infection). Then, for other
reasons, I runned some immunity tests and
I found out that it was a chlamydia
infection. So be aware, try other tests
too than it seems to don't go away for
anything in the world and they are very
frequent.
The rest of advices are very good. At
least some of them if you keep you may
avoid the problem. And I can give you
another one:
- don't ware for long periods of time, for
example travelling, very tight trousers.
My last one came from this cause, and it
was also very cold.
- change the tampons frequently.
