Bladder infections?
Are bladder infections in women results from allergies? Specifically from laytex and bath soaps, would using hypo allergenic items reduce the frequency of uti? and what alternatives do I have if I wants to reduce the amount of times I get bladder infections that are from sexual activity. Abstinance isn’t an option, and please, if you don’t know, don’t waste your and my time producing an irrelevant answer. Thanks
UTIs are caused by bacteria, most often by the bacteria that are found inside the intestines and sometimes on the skin around the rectal and vaginal areas. Yes, that means from fecal contamination.
UTIs are caused by the bacteria Escherichia coli, or E. coli — for short. When the bacteria pass through the urethra (the narrow urine canal that connects the bladder to the outside), they can get inside the bladder and cause an infection. Some females get urinary tract infections more frequently, this may be because of the differences in the shape and length of the urethra in different people. Males generally get fewer UTIs than females because they have longer urethras. (One advantage to having a penis. They tend to get urethritis).
There are several ways bacteria can get into the urethra. During sexual intercourse, the bacteria in the vaginal area can be pushed into the urethra, which causes irritation in the bladder. In fact, any time the vaginal area is rubbed, bacteria can be pushed into the urethra. You can get a bladder infection from oral sex too. Infections are also common in women who wear tight jeans.
There are several ways you may be able to prevent UTIs. After urination, females should wipe from front to back with toilet paper. After bowel movements, be sure to wipe from front to back to avoid spreading bacteria from the rectal area to the urethra. Another thing you can do to prevent bladder infections, whether you’re a male or female, is to go to the bathroom to empty your bladder frequently. Avoid holding your urine for long periods of time.
Males and females should also keep the genital area clean and dry. Frequent bubble baths can cause irritation of the vaginal area, so girls should take showers or take baths without adding bubble bath to the water. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture in the genital area by not wearing nylon underwear or wet swimsuits. Remember that wearing underwear with cotton crotches is also helpful.
If you are sexually active, urinate right after intercourse (or within 10 minutes after) and gently wash the genital area to remove any bacteria. Avoid sexual positions that irritate or hurt your urethra or bladder, and if you need lubrication during sex, use a water-soluble lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly.
AND drinking lots of water – six to eight glasses a day – keeps your bladder active and bacteria-free. Pure cranberry juice will help keep the urine acidic and bacteria don’t multiply as well in that kind of environment.
Remember, that although urinary tract infections are uncomfortable and often painful, they are very common and easily treated. The sooner you contact your health care provider, the sooner you’ll be able to clear up the infection. Don’t wait until you end up with a kidney infection.
