What is the best way to prevent bladder infections and treat *mild* ones (besides just drinking a whole lot of water)? I get them very regularly, usually can just drink water to make them go away, but need antibiotics about 3 times/year and would love to prevent them if I could. I've tried cranberry juice and lemon juice with no effect.
Answer:
What helped me more than anything else in the actual prevention of bladder infections was when I started taking all natural Optilfora. It's a two-product system that includes Probiotic (Bifidus %26 Acidophilus...microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS...food source for microflora). Due to it's patented encapsulation process, it guarantees delivery of 500 million live bacteria to the intestines. An imbalance of "good" and "bad" bacteria in our bodies can cause so many problems.
Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions.
you could try the cranberry capsules just take very day like you would a viatamin and it will be in your system all the time as opposed to drinking the juice.
they also sell cranberry herbal supplements (capsules) that you can take
also stay dry %26 clean , go to the bathroom
after being intimate
sounds like your doing everything else that can be done
Try drinking green tea hot or cold...contains wonderful antioxidents...look it up on the internet...many benefits...but I use it also for urinary tract and bladder infection prevention...I have a kidney malformation and beleive me it works...
Keep the vaginal area clean, including wiping from the front to back after a bowel movement to prevent contamination of the urinary tract.
Use tampons and change every three to four hours, instead of sanitary pads. (The pads can act as a culture medium for fecal bacteria, which may then be rubbed against the urinary outlet and invade the bladder.)
Wear cotton undergarments, which allow air circulation and discourage the warm, moist environment needed for bacteria growth. Nylon pantyhose should have a cotton crotch.
Avoid wearing tight clothes in the genital area, such as control-top pantyhose and skin-tight jeans, as well as extended wearing of a wet bathing suit.
Urinate before and after intercourse and make sure that the partner's hands and penis are clean.
Drink plenty of fluids (cranberry juice has been shown to help prevent urinary tract infections.)
Urinate "when you see a bathroom" rather than when the urge to urinate becomes strong.
Although there is no scientific evidence linking diet to UTIs, some people have found that alcohol, tomatoes, spices, chocolate, caffeinated and citrus beverages, and high-acid foods might contribute to bladder irritation and inflammation.
