Bladder infection affects the urinary bladder that can spread to the kidney and prostate. Women, both young as well as elderly and during pregnancy can suffer from this condition. People suffering from diabetes or multiple sclerosis are susceptible to bladder infection.


Using common bathrooms can lead to inflammation. Avoid wearing tight underwear as it can lead to perspiration. Holding your urine for a long period of time can also aggravate the situation.


 

Certain home remedies for bladder infection are:-

  • Drink large glasses of water. This will help in flushing out the bacteria thus reducing infection.
  • Drink half a cup of lemon juice just as you wake up in the morning. This will help in eliminating the infection. Vitamin C present in lemon kills the bad bacteria in the urine.
  • Take a bath with apple cider vinegar added to water. This will help in relieving the burning sensation related to infection. You can also prepare a drink by adding 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar to a glass of water.
  • Drinking cranberry juice decreases the recurrence of bladder infection. Boil fresh cranberries in water till they fall apart. Sugar need not be added. This remedy is useful if the condition is not too severe.
  • Consuming yogurt can eliminate bladder infection as it contains acidophilus bifidus. Acidophilus bifidus are also available in a condensed over the table form from supermarket or drug store.
