How can you get relief from a urinary tract infection?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have an actual infection, you must go to a doctor and get some antibiotics to cure it. If you just have irritation, there are several things that can help.

  • Drink as much non-caffeinated liquid as you can - cranberry juice is quite popular, but not necessary if you don't like the taste
  • Take phenazopyridine - in the US, this is marketed as AZO (Standard)
  • Wear cotton underpants rather than polyester - polyester traps more moisture near the body and irritates the urinary opening more
  • If you are female, always wipe your "private" areas from front to back, not back to front, to avoid wiping E. coli bacteria from your anus to your urinary system
  • If you continue to experience irritation, try showering instead of taking baths - soaking baths can irritate the urinary opening

Can an bladder infection cause Diarrhea?

"Unhygienic conditions around the genital region, wet diapers, not cleaning the area after passing stools or bacterial diarrhea can also cause urinary infections. Most infections arise from Escherichia coli or E coli bacteria, which generally live in the colon."

This was on a website about children and Urinary Infections, so I don't see why not if an adult has really bad diarrhea why bacteria couldn't reach it's way from the bum to the urethra.
