If you take baths in water with Calgon added or bubble bath salts,
you may increase likelihood of bladder infections. These chemicals strip away the protective mucous from the membranes down there, and allow bacteria to get a foothold and go right up the urethra and into the bladder.

Have you been tested for a bladder infection yet?
If those AZO tablets don't work, another way to go would be to look into taking Prelief tablets to change the acidity of your urine. Stop drinking the Cranberry and stick to water only. You should be able to get the Prelief tablets at most Drug Stores. Also, there are two other things (uncommon) that you might look into down the road. They are called Intersitial Cystitis and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. These things are not very common at all. However, I think that having a bladder infection is by far, the most common situation. And by the way, I have had tests come out negative and cultures come out positive. I needed the antibiotics! If I didn't have the culture, I would NOT have known until things got MUCH worse.Untreated bladder infections can lead to a kidney infection and this can get serious. Don't let this pain continue. Almost always, the test simply requires urinating in a cup. I'll give you a little hint. If you are afraid of seeing a urologist...then go to a family doctor or GP. |

When I had a bladder infection as a kid I took the "orange dye" as a medication to make it better. I haven't had any pain for the past few days now so I am wondering if it's better...but if I feel any more pain then I will let my mom know that I need to go to the doc's. Thank you all for your support. Your advice and words of encouragement have helped me get through this and I think you might have cured me I will keep you all posted |
