Bladder Infection ?

I have this feeling that I have to use the bathroom but I can’t seem to go. My mom thinks that it’s a bladder infection, but I really don’t know. Can you tell me what you feel before a bladder infection?

You can always try taking some Cranberry and Acidophilus. They’re available at all health foods stores, Walmart, GNC, etc. If it’s just a UTI and not a bladder or kidney infection, then those supplements help. Also, stay away from sugar, sodas, liquor/beer, yeasts, etc until the UTI is gone.

Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms
Lower urinary tract infection (cystitis): The lining of the urethra and bladder becomes inflamed and irritated.

•Dysuria – Pain or burning during urination
•Frequency – More frequent urination (or waking up at night to urinate)
•Urgency – The sensation of not being able to hold urine
•Hesitancy – The sensation of not being able to urinate easily or completely (or feeling that you have to urinate but only a few drops of urine come out)
•Cloudy, bad smelling, or bloody urine
•Lower abdominal pain
•Mild fever (less than 101°F), chills, and “just not feeling well” (malaise)
Upper urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis): Symptoms develop rapidly and may or may not include the symptoms for a lower urinary tract infection.

•Fairly high fever (higher than 101°F)
•Shaking chills
•Nausea
•Vomiting
•Flank pain – Pain in your back or side, usually on only one side at about waist level

I have a yeast infection and a bladder infection! My period was due around last week, but that’s also when both of my infections had started. (The bladder infection could have started earlier.) I heard that a yeast infection usually doesn’t delay your period, but what about both of them combined?

I’m taking medication for both of them now as well.

I was always told that too. That a yeast infection never delays a period and blah blah blah blah.

Ok, I’ve had about 4-5 if not more yeast infections and EVERY TIME it has delayed my period. I’m pretty convinced it does.

When I was on the birth control pill I had bladder and yeast infections often. I’ve been off for 5 months (trying to conceive) and infection-free, but the past couple days I feel a bladder infection coming on. I’m going to the dr today, but was wondering if anyone has gotten a bladder infection at the very beginning of their pregnancy?

Before I was on the bc pill I don’t remember ever getting infections, but on the pill I was very prone to them. Thanks!

I thought I was pregnant once because of the symptoms of my UTI, but no.. it was just a UTI. I didn’t get pregnant for nearly a year afterwards. You’re probably just getting another infection.

I think I have a bladder infection…It doesnt burn while Im peeing but once I am done it hurts alot….I cant go to the doctor till Monday, is there anything that can lessen the pain?

Azo tablets will help with the pain. I love these!

Urinary tract infections can be painful, but you can take steps to ease your discomfort until antibiotics clear the infection. Follow these tips:

Drink plenty of water to dilute your urine and help flush out bacteria.

Urinate frequently.

Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices and caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate.

Drink 100% Cranberry juice (no juice mixes) or take cranberry pills.

Use a heating pad on your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.

Prevention
Take these steps to reduce your risk of urinary tract infections:

Drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Cranberry juice may have infection-fighting properties. However, don't drink cranberry juice if you're taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin. Possible interactions between cranberry juice and warfarin may lead to bleeding.
Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
Empty your bladder as soon as possible after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.
Avoid potentially irritating feminine products. Using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra.
