Bladder Infection - Cystitis |
Bladder infection is normally caused by some type
of bacteria which causes "cystitis", inflammation of the bladder. As much as 85% of the urinary tract infections are
caused by the bacteria called Escherichia coli. In women the bacteria can occur by fecal or vaginal
secretions moving up through the urethra, and cystitis does occur more often in women than men. In
men bladder problems may signal a more serious problem like
prostatitis.

Bladder infections are often indicated by an urgent need to empty
the bladder. Urination is very often both frequent and painful; even after
the person's bladder has been emptied, there may be a feeling of the
need to urinate again.
The urine normally has a strong, unpleasant odor, and may appear cloudy.
Children suffering from bladder infections often will complain of lower
abdominal pain and a painful burning sensation while they are urinating.
Another indication of infection is blood in the urine. While cystitis itself is usually more of an
inconvenience than a severe health problem, however it can lead to kidney
infection and related problems if it is left untreated. The risk of developing a bladder
infection can be increased by several factors, including pregnancy,
sexual intercourse, the use of a diaphragm, and systemic disorders
such as diabetes and obesity. The risk of cystitis is
also increased if there is a structural abnormality or obstruction of
the urinary tract resulting in restriction of the free flow of urine,
or if past infections have resulted in a narrowing of the urethra.
Prevention of bladder infection includes dietary and nutritional
changes as well as good colon and intestinal health maintenance to
prevent toxins and other things from becoming a infection risk.
