Why is cranberry juice recommended for bladder infections?

Well, both the cranberry and blueberry have a substance called tannin which prevents bacteria called Escherichia coli to attach to the inner wall of the urinary tract. It is a tube from the bladder which runs to the outside ureters (tube going to the bladder and kidneys). The tannins would prevent the bacteria from forming or binding to the urinary tract resulting it to be washed out of the bladder when urinating.

How many kinds of urine are there?

Urine is one of a kind-- there are no separate "kinds" of urine. However, the color of urine may be different depending on a number of factors. Normally, urine is the color of straw, e.g. a very light yellow. In the morning, it can be darker because it is more concentrated. As you drink fluids throughout the day, urine gets lighter again.

Urine should also be clear. Cloudy urine or blood in the urine often means a urinary tract infection (UTI). Blood can also be from menstruation for girls and women.


Urine normally has a slight odor. Urine that smells really awful often means an infection.


Urine that has a sheen of an oily substance often means the person's diet is high in fats and that possibly, their gallbladder is not breaking down fats in foods.


So basically, you should be able to see through your urine. If you imagine a piece of newspaper in the toilet (---do NOT do this because it will clog the pipes!---), you should be able to read typed letters through your light colored urine.

How does air in bladder infection form?

My mother was recently told that she has air in her bladder. Her doctor said that there are two ways that air can get into the bladder. One is when a catheter is inserted air can go in with it. The other is a fistula between the colon and bladder that allows air to enter from the colon into the bladder. I have since seen an article that says that bladder infections can sometimes cause gas (air) to build up in the bladder. Hope this helps!

The real answer is we don't know. That being said, there is a lot of speculation that the inflammatory response causes a release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines which cause a dissociation in neurotransmitters, presumably affecting the hippocampus.

Fluid and electrolyte abnormalities are frequently encountered as contributing factors in elderly delirium. Dehydration coupled with electrolye and/or glucose imbalance (and inflammatory markers that change blood flow and composition) may be at the heart of the process underlying delirium caused by UTIs. This process remains poorly understood.

How many days would a bladder infection show its symptoms?

Do urinary tract infections cause impotence?

In males, it seems possible since the sperm cells pass through the urinary tract. As they are cells can be infected by bacterial or other micro-pathogens to become sterile and ineffective in fertility of the ovum. A more likely cause for infertility would be organ damage, and the testes are quite a ways from the areas that tend to get infected.

In females the urinary tract is distinctly separate and in no way can effect fertility unless bacterial infection enters the female reproductive tract to infect the ovum or cause internal damage. It won't affect fertility in females as the urinary tract has nothing to do with the genital tract.
