If you\u2019ve had a\u00a0bladder infection<\/a>, you know that pain can be all-consuming during the acute stage. Bladder infections are very common in women.One in five American women will have at least one\u00a0urinary tract infection<\/a>\u00a0in her life. Of those, 20% will have another; 30% of those will have a third. An astounding 80% women who have had 3 bladder infections will have a 4th.<\/p>\n

Some of these women go onto to develop a condition called \u201cchronic UTI\u201d where they relapse into a full blown\u00a0bladder infection<\/a>\u00a0every few weeks. Urinary problems in men are less common, but when they occur, they are usually tied to\u00a0prostate problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Urinary symptoms to watch for:<\/strong><\/p>\n

* urgent, burning, painful,\u00a0frequent urination<\/a>, especially at night
\n* foul-smelling, cloudy or bloody urine
\n* urination pain accompanied with lower back and abdomen pain and pressure
\n*\u00a0nausea<\/a>, chills and fever
\n* urethral discharge<\/p>\n

A urine test, available at drug stores or through your doctor, can confirm whether or not you truly have a\u00a0bladder infection<\/a>. It\u2019s important to see a physician if you have symptoms. Some STDs can mimic UTI symptoms. Further, if you have pain above the waist, you may have a\u00a0kidney infection<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0kidney stones<\/a>\u00a0instead of a\u00a0bladder infection<\/a>, which requires immediate attention.<\/p>\n

What causes UTIs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

90% of bladder infections are caused by overgrowth of E.coli bacteria. Sexual intercourse is a common culprit, and is the main trigger for women ages 20 to 40. Women who are pregnant or who are in\u00a0menopause<\/a>\u00a0are also at a higher risk for developing urinary infections. Water is a key to bladder\/kidney health.<\/p>\n

Dehydration allows bacteria to concentrate and severely stresses the kidneys. Including 8-10 glasses of pure, bottled water every day (can include herbal teas) helps move bacterial wastes out of the body. Avoiding sugary foods that feed bacteria is another good idea.<\/p>\n
