Bladder infections can cause pain and burning upon urination, pelvic pain, an increase or decrease in urinary output, and sometimes blood in the urine. Treating bladder infections typically includes the administration of oral antibiotics and drinking plenty of water. Cranberry juice may also help alleviate symptoms of bladder infections as may taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Systemic symptoms of bladder infections include fever, chills, nausea and muscle pain. Although antibiotics are effective in treating symptoms of bladder infection, they can cause side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. The entire course of antibiotics must be completed to make sure that the bladder infection has resolved.
Bacteria in the water enters either the urethra in females, or the prostate gland in males, leading to the bladder, causing infection.
Orange juice cannot cause bladder infections. Bladder infections are caused from bacteria that enter the bladder, usually via the urethra. And contrary to popular belief, cranberry juice does not cure a bladder infection. But there are other things that can mimic a bladder infection, such as Interstitial Cystitis.

If you feel you do have a bladder infection, you need to see your doctor. A bladder infection can also affect the kidneys if not treated with antibiotics. If there is no infection there are some things you can do to get relief from the discomfort. Sitting in a warm or hot tub of water relaxes the bladder muscles, which helps eliminate the painful spasms. You can also get over-the-counter medications for this. The name of one is Azo Standard. It is a bladder analgesic, and is quite effective in relieving the discomfort.
