Tips to Help you Prevent and Cure a Bladder Infection

June 3, 2009


What is a bladder infection?

A urinary tract infection where you feel the urge to urinate constantly is a bladder infection. Some of the other symptoms include pain and burning sensation while urinating, blood in the urine, inability of emptying ones bladder and pain and swelling in the lower back region.

While it is important to see a doctor to get anti biotic treatments for the infection; it is also completely essential for you to get a few alternative remedies to help to ease the pain and discomfort of the infection. The home remedies that you use will help you to prevent further damage to your bladder and ease the pain and discomfort that you may be in.

You need to eat and drink foods that are rich in anti oxidants. This helps to release the toxins from your body and thus give you relief. One of the most useful foods here is cranberry juice. The juice helps to reduce the frequency and the pain caused by the infection.

You must also avoid eating spicy foods at this time. When you eat spicy foods, your body reacts with the spices and in some cases may cause an acid reflux or heart burn. This makes the bladder infection even worse.

To prevent a bladder infection one must make sure to drink plenty of water. 8 to 1-0 glasses of water will take you a long way. When you drink water you help you body to be well hydrated and you flush out the toxins from your body thereby reducing the chances of an infection.

Also, one must take care when using public toilets as they are the main cause of contracting the infection. Always keep a paper toilet seat cover with you and avoids sitting on the seat but squat over it to prevent your skin from touching the toilet. Always flush the toilet before and after using it to get rid of bacteria and germs from lacthing onto your body.
