A bladder infection is accompanied by burning pain when urinating and an increasing frequency of going to the toilet. Abdominal or back pain and a cloudy or even bloody discoloration of the urine are also common. The inflammation is usually caused by bacteria that rise up the urethra into the bladder.
Women are much more frequently affected because of their short urethra, as are pregnant women, diabetics and those who wear a bladder catheter. As a rule, a bladder infection heals without any problems. Various homeopathics can help to alleviate the symptoms.
