Looking For A Bladder Infection Natural Cure

Bladder infections, known medically as cystitis, is an acute infection of the bladder that is most often caused by an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). It can be caused from an overuse of antibiotics, menopausal tissue changes, lack of fluids, poor elimination, stress, and staph.

Cystitis is more common in women than men because in women the urethra is shorter and offers a more direct path for bacteria to reach the bladder. If the infection is not addressed, the kidneys can become infected as well which is more serious and may result in permanent kidney damage.

In women, a bladder infection can be triggered by irritation of sexual intercourse. It is good advice to empty the bladder before and after sex. Proper hygiene is also very important, and when the bottom is wiped after a bowel movement, wipe away from the genital area.

If you have frequent bladder infections it is very important to treat the underlying cause and take preventive steps to keep them from coming back.

In men, a bladder infection is usually a sign of something more serious and usually has to do with the functioning of the prostrate.

The urinary system is essential in maintaining the fluid balance within the body and keeps our electrolytes, or fluid-soluble minerals, in balance and aid in removing toxins. Muscle tone is very important, especially as people get older and the bladder tends to shrink. Exercises, considered part of a bladder infection natural cure, can be helpful in maintaining control of bladder function.
