Faster and Safer Bladder Infections Treatment, Orange County, CA

Are you experiencing a constant need to use the bathroom, only to find a tiny bit of urine coming out? Add that to a burning or stinging sensation while peeing, and chances are you have a bladder infection.

What Causes My Bladder Infection?

The E. coli bacteria is responsible for most bladder infections, makings its way into the bladder from the outside skin and multiplying there. Anatomically, women have a shorter urethra (the peeing tube) than men, which makes it more likely that bacteria can travel upstream into the bladder so that women often have more UTIs (urinary tract infections) than men. Bladder infections are so rare in men that repeat infections can be a sign of an underlying problem with the urinary system anatomy.

Certain activities can push more skin bacteria towards the urethra, increasing a woman’s risk of a bladder infection, such as:

Wiping from back to front after a bowel movement
Using birth control devices like diaphragms
Sexual intercourse
Using tampons

What are the Symptoms of Bladder Infection?

Signs to watch for include:

Frequent, strong urge to urinate
Burning sensation while peeing
Urinating more than usual, but in smaller amounts
Bloody or pink-tinged urine

Symptoms of fever, chills, nausea, or pelvic/back pain can indicate a much more serious infection, and should be evaluated by medical personnel immediately.
