1. Bladder infections are a common problem for women, accounting for more than 6 million office
visits each year. Men, because of the greater distance between their bladder and urethral
opening, only rarely develop bladder infections.
The primary symptoms of a bladder infection are burning during urination, frequency of
urination, and urgency to urinate, possibly accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and

2. cloudy or bloody urine. Occasionally, the infection spreads upward into the kidneys, producing
symptoms such as intense back pain, high fever, chills, nausea, and diarrhea.
Conventional treatment for bladder infections consists of appropriate antibiotic treatment
guided by urine culture. Women with frequent bladder infections may keep on hand a
prescription for antibiotics to be used when symptoms arise. Some women may choose to take
antibiotics continuously to prevent infection. Certain hygiene habits, such as showering before
or urinating after oral sex or intercourse, are commonly said to be helpful, although this has not
been proven.
