Bladder Infection: Symptoms, Remedies, and Prevention

Preventing Bladder Infections

There are measures you can take to prevent getting a bladder infection. Some of the things you can do include the following:

1. Drinking six to seven glasses of water every day.
2. Urinating as soon as you feel the urge to do so.
3. Changing your underwear regularly.
4. Wearing cotton underwear.
5. Taking showers instead of baths.
6. Urinating before and after having sexual intercourse.

A bladder infection can be mild and go away on its own. However, if the infection lasts longer than a few days and is left untreated, it can become more serious or even life-threatening. Should you experience any symptoms or suspect that you have a bladder infection, make sure to see your doctor right away to prevent any possible complications.
