Cures for bladder infection Bladder infections happen when E. coli bacteria that normally reside in the vagina reach the urinary tract. They are more common among women, although men can be infected too.
One thing that helps with flushing out the bacteria is to drink a lot of fluids, preferably unflavored water. Although this will make you want to urinate often, in the long run this is a desired result. The pain that accompanies urination during a bladder infection gets exacerbated when urine is not flushed out regularly from the bladder.
E. coli bacteria flourish in urine that is not expelled and make the infection even more painful. Frequent expulsion makes sure that the bacteria do not have the opportunity to multiply.
You could also treat yourself to a long, hot bath. Add some aromatic oils like tea tree oil or bergamot oil, which have both cosmetic and medicinal properties. The hot water will ease the discomfort that accompanies this condition. It will also ensure that the area is thoroughly cleansed, as maintaining high a level of hygiene is extremely important in situations like this. Wash the area with water and dry thoroughly after a visit to the restroom. Avoid wearing underwear that is made of synthetic materials or cuts into the skin. Opt for comfortable cotton underwear and loose outer clothing that allows the body to breathe.
