Urinary Track Infection including bladder infection is a very common disease that affect millions of people in the US alone every year and for that reason I decided to share information that hopefully help you as well. Please note that you might be able to cure the disease following UTI home remedy.
The disease affects more women than man. The reason for that is the difference in anatomical structure. Women have a shorter urethra compared to men therefore bacteria are able to reach bladder quicker. Once they are in there they start to multiply and irritate bladder and urethra walls causing an infection. The best moment for urinary track infection home remedies to be most effective is when the disease starts to develop and when you notice first symptoms.
Another common cause of bladder or urinary track infection is waiting too long to urinate. When you make it a habit to wait too long even if you feel you must go muscles that the bladder is made of stretch beyond their capacity and over time weaken. When that happens bladder might not empty completely and some urine is left inside. The perfect environment for bacteria to multiply and grow. The disease itself is easy to treat however the recurrence is very common. If you read that you probably know what it means to have bladder or UTI as the symptoms are not easy to miss. Anyway here is the full list of symptoms both common and uncommon.
Symptoms of lower urinary tract infection (urethra and bladder) can be:
- Strong urge to urinate that can not be delayed
- Sharp pain or burning during urination
- Very often very little urine is released and sometimes it may be smelly or clouded urine and there may be a trace of blood
- The urge to urinate reapers quickly
- Sometimes you can feel pain in lower abdomen, back or sides
- Also chills and a mild fever may occur (less that 101F)
If the bacteria spread to upper urinary tract (kidneys and ureters) symptoms may include:
- Fever (over 101F)
- Shaking chills
- Nausea and vomiting
- Flank pain usually in back or side (very often only on one side) at waist level
Please note that infection of upper urinary tract is very serious one and urinary track infection home remedies might not be efficient. You should seek immediate medical attention because if left untreated it may cause kidney damage.
