Home Remedies for Bladder Infections

A bladder infection is the most common form of urinary tract infection. The condition may occur when bacteria penetrate the urethra and travel to the bladder. It would cause annoying and painful symptoms. Women are more likely to develop this infection than men. If left untreated, the infection would spread to the kidneys and cause more severe complications. Below are some simple home remedies that you can take to treat or prevent bladder infections in the first place.

Frequent Urination

Urinating more frequently is a simple way to get rid of bladder infections. This process can get bacteria out of your bladder. Avoid holding it or hesitating to visit the bathroom when you need because it would allow bacteria to grow more quickly. Urination after having sex can be especially helpful because sexual activities would push bacteria deeper into your body. [1]
