Most Bladder infections are due to ecoli. The close proximety of the vagina and anus, as well as sexual activities makes it very easy to get this type of bladder infections. What helps most, if you are female, wipe from front to back to direct feces away from the vagina. Never have anal intercourse followed by vaginal intercourse. Always urinate after intercourse.and sometimes those germs just make there anyway. Drink lots of fluids, water is best, cranberry juice / sauce or mixed in anyway changes the ph of your urine to discourage bacterial growth. And stear clear of bubble baths and scented soaps as they irritate the urethra. The reason the doctor changed your antibiotic is to be able to be specificaly able to kill out the ecoli bacteria.  All antibiotics are specific to different germs, so one is better than another in certain cases.

They say that if you rub your feet with baking soda it helps. Also i am sure you can find all sorts of medicated powders in your local pharmacy. If it is a real problem talk to your doctor about it maybe he/she will have a medical solution to it:)

Yes, sometimes bacteria from  the farthest nether regions can move its way up to the vagina.  This can cause a bladder infection.  Some girls are more prone to bladder infections than others.  \n\nCranberry juice will work wonders for keeping the urinary tract healthy, also drinking plenty of water will help stop this.\n\nI hope i helped

A Urinary Tract Infection has tell tale symptoms. There is an itchy feeling, and it burns when you pee. You can also feel a little bit crampy.\n\nDrinking a lot of water and fluids can help relieve the itchy burny feeling, but you should see a doctor as the only way to get rid of the infection is antibiotics. Also, this is a bacterial infection and can spread to the kidneys causing severe pain and worse complications.\n\nPeeing after sex can help prevent UTI's.

A UTI(Urine Track infection) it can be of a few diffrent origins. It can be an infection of the kidneys, ureters,or the bladder caused by microgrnisms that either ascend frin tthe urethra(95% of the cases are of this orgin) or that is spread to the kidney for the bloodstream(5%) . About 7 millon American patients visit a health care provider each year because of a UTI. These infections commonly occur inotherwise healthy women men and childeren with prostatic hypertrophy or bladder outlet obstruction, and in children with congential anatomical abnnormalities of the urninary tract, and patients who have just had a catheters, \nMost UTIS are caused by  eschericha coli which causes 80 percent staphyiciccys saorophyticus is another common intruder. There are many more diffrent orgnisims that are responsible. \nThe symptoms of a urinary tract infection ... vary enormously.. it can be pain with urination.. frequency or urgency... pelvic pain or suprapubic discomfort. a low grade fever..or a change in the apperance or the smell of the urine. I suspect that your not an elderly person they could be confused having the fever, and even a coma this is only in a very sever case. \nNext your going to wonder how did I get this... basically 95 pr cent occur because the little bug travels up your urethia into your bladder or where ever it decides to cause the turmoil. It can cause burning when you pass urine also. But it can be cause by a STD if that is what your wondering.. this can be casued by a yeast infection, or any other STD or it can be caused by any orgnisim that has traveled in and up into your body. \nSome young brides or in modern times young women who are just starting to have intercourse in a frequent pattern can have an irritation that would resemble a uti.. also to prevent utis women should pass urine before intercourse and aftwards... drinking plenty of clear liquids can help to avoid this uncomfortable situation.. old wifes tales spoke of consuming cranberry juice there is some natural chemical that sooths and helps the infections to subside.. If you have blood or pus in your urine I dont suggest any home remidy but you will need to seek medical attention so to avoid its spread to the kidneys.. One would get them becuse the bug has decided that it likes you and want to annoy you so it takes up residence in your bladder ect... Any way best of luck always avoid sugar and coffee tight fitting panites and nylon panties or nylons these can contribute to a yeast infection which can spread to the uti...

1) Clean feet thoroughly. Bacteria stinks.\n2) Check for fungus. \n3) Use pleasant-smelling foot spray.\n4) Air out shoes in the sun and let baking soda sit in them for a while. If that doesn't help them, get new shoes.

There is a compound in cranberry juice called Tannin which helps prevent the bacteria that causes bladder infections from clinging to the walls of the bladder.  Cranberry juice is actually more effective for the prevention of bladder infections since it doesn't actually kill the bacteria.  Your best bet to treat a bladder infection is to flush your system with water and to use cranberry juice as a preventative measure.

WATER WATER WATER... and more WATER...\nCRANBERRY juice is NO GOOD.. It is only good for urinary track infection (UTI)... \nlimit calcium in your diet.. that means no 3-cheeze pizzas everyday..\n\nand if your stones are bigger than 5 mm i'd contact a urologist.. i had 4 stones of that size in my left kid and 6 of bigger size in my right.. it got to be very painfull even tough i wasnt passing any of them...\n\nso WATER WATER WATER and limited calcium..

They're pretty helpful.  They make your urine more acidic so bacteria cannot adhere to the walls of your urinary tract.  Take a bunch at a time (4 or 5) when you feel like a UTI might be coming on, and they'll probably ward off the infection.  Good luck.

Because the uretra in women is smaller than it is in men, we tend to get them more frequently than men do. They can be caused by any number of reasons:\n\n1. not drinking enough water to flush impurities out of the system; \n2. improper wiping of the area (wipe from front to back, especially after a bowel movement);\n3. very active sex, which irritates the area; \n4. a yeast infection, which can travel into the bladder \n\nThere are other reasons as well. See the link below.\n\nAntibiotics are usually the prescribed course of treatment, but cranberry juice or tablets (AZO brand, which can be found in drugstores in the US, and purchased over the counter) also helps but as a temporary measure. You should still seek medical treatment, especially if it doesn't subside. Cranberry juice- a natural kind, and not filled with tons of sugar (which makes you more yeast prone) is best.\n\nMake sure to address the problem though. Urinary infections CAN turn into kidney infections and they are not fun. You can get really sick from them.

Post UTI pain and discomfort can be treated successfully with a course of Pyridium.  Doctors don't like to give it to those with diabetes because it can mask symptoms of an actual UTI.  But as you have taken the Cipro and produced a clean specimen, I don't see why the doctor wouldn't give you a course of the Pyridium, or you can obtain it now over the counter in a lower dosage.  It will turn your urine orange, don't let that freak you out, the orange goes away when you stop the drug.

sulfa meds are good, so is macrobid. also drink only water for the next few days. azo and pyridium is good for the  burning and itching although it can turn your urine orange. cranberry vitiams are very good for keeping uti's away

Very possible. Traditional remedies for athlete's foot include the claim that urine is very effective at killing athlete's foot. Urea, the "active ingredient" in urine, is already used in many drugs and treatments made by pharmaceutical companies to treat athlete's foot. This controversial treatment method recommends urinating on the infected area once a day in the shower. According to supporters, urine therapy not only kills existing fungi, it prevents new fungi from growing in the infected area.\nGo figure.

Typically cranberry juice and water are to Prevent UTIs from reoccuring. You need an antibiotic to get rid of it, then follow up with more cranberry juice and water. There's no set amount to drink, if they keep coming back, increase your intake.\n\nAs for soap, I think Dove soap is really gentle on the skin but anything without perfumes should work for you. \n\nGood luck!

No my friend, urino-therapy doesn't help at all.Actually it's all about autosugestion...if someone tells you that if u eat an onion, per example, and it will cure u of a nasty tumour, and u really belive it, there's a pretty good chance that u get cured, although that onion hasn't actually no phisically effect on you...THIS IS CALLED THE PLACEBO EFFECT

This belongs in a Health topic, not "special education."\n\nAre you talking about medical equipment, or your own body's urinary tract?\n\nIf you want to improve your urinary health, drink 6 to 8 servings of water each day. Also, do drink cran-rasberry juices. It helps a lot.
