A bladder infection is an inflammation of the bladder and/or urogenital tract and is usually of a microbiological nature. However, this diagnosis doesn’t actually explain why this phenomenon occurs mostly in women or how the bacteria originated in the urinary tract in the first place. Symptoms can include more frequent urination, blood in the urine and pain at the point where the uterus attaches to the vagina. When you understand the basics of bladder infection symptoms, you can make the right choice for the resolution that wholly resonates with you.

A short lesson in basic anatomy may start to illuminate the phenomenon behind bladder infection symptoms. Your urinary system begins with the kidneys, which filter the blood of urea which is a water-soluble compound, a nitrogen bi-product of protein assimilation. Urine is then stored in the bladder until it is expressed out of the urethra and vagina or penis. While most research on the root cause looks at the external manifestation of a bacterial origin, such as wiping from back to front, internal toxicity has also been linked to the cause.

High levels of mercury, for example, can cause inflammation in the urogenital system in an attempt for your system to detoxify from this highly corrosive metal contained in adhesives, hemorrhoid creams, or mercury fillings which have been used barbarically since the war of 1812. The quantity of mercury contained in the mouth of an average dental patient would be sufficient to declare a work site too toxic to work it were spilled there.

Some of the escalating symptoms indicating that you may have a bladder infection are:

* Constant urge to urinate, often waking you up to use the bathroom
* Stinging and burning at the mouth of the vagina
* Redness or even blood in the urine, may spot the tissue when you wipe
* Escalating pain up the neck of the urethra that can escalate up into the kidneys
* Leakage of urine into the gusset of your undergarments
* Cloudy, rusty, or foul smelling (like cat or horse urine)
* Fever or chills, usually indicating that the infection is now in the kidneys, requiring that you seek your medical practitioner’s counsel

As mentioned above, the incidence of bladder infections is higher in young women between the ages of 18 and 24 as well as those transitioning into menopause. The former individuals suffering cystitis is interesting as this group also forms the most sexually active period in a woman’s life. Bladder infections can be a result of being “pissed off” and if there is any sexual shame or condemnation, women will tend to provide the conditions ripe for bacteria to anchor in this region of their bodies. Menopausal women, however, are shifting levels in their estrogen, making the vagina, where the ureters connect less acidic which can keep certain bacteria in check. Also, menopausal women are not as celebrated for their wisdom as they could be, which may ripen into bladder infection symptoms due to unresolved anger issues.

If a women, suffering bladder infection symptoms, should cart themselves off to the allopathic Medical Doctor, typically what they will be prescribed is antibiotics. “Anti” literally means “against” and “bios” means “life.” It is not considered the informed remedy and so the antibiotic will destroy just about everything including the healthy flora and fauna in the gut. The root cause, as mentioned above, has not been wholly addressed even though it may appear that the symptoms are gone. If the anger prevails, the issue will only recur again and again. So, if your Doctor prescribes antibiotics, suggests you wipe your hiney from front to back, or pee right before and after sexual intercourse you only have techniques for suppressing and managing your symptoms at best. The root cause in fact remains.

Now, you may be wondering what your options are if you are actually interested in curing the underlying cause. You may have heard of the principle, “Like Cures Like” or “similar suffering” which is actually a prescription based on natural law. Hippocrates (460 – 350B.C.), who authored the Hippocratic oath; also regarded as the “father of medicine,” wrote the maxim, “By similar things a disease is produced and through the application of the like is cured.” Aristotle (384 – 322B.C.) also defined the principle of natural law as well, and wrote, “Often the simile acts upon the simile.” Alas, born in Meissen, Germany in 1755, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann touted, “Like cures like,” (or traditionally in Latin, “Similia similibus curentur”). He was known for curing thousands of cases of scarlet fever with the poison Belladonna.

The principled art and science behind homeopathic remediation for the treatment of bladder infection symptoms include remedies such as Staphysagria, Apis, Cantharis and also Belladonna. To add additional healing, that can not cause harm, you can also sip on organic cranberry juice. Try to find a source without any sugar added as this can exacerbate your symptoms. While it tastes a little like battery acid, pure cranberry juice will help annihilate the micro-biological issues without disturbing the flora and fauna of your gut. Upping your water intake to 2-3 litres is also a stellar idea when suffering bladder infection symptoms as this practice will help to flush your urogenital plumbing of the arch nemesis, creating a tide that will be difficult for bad bacteria to effectively survive in. It is best if you can maintain this regimental practice as a preventative measure even after your bladder infection symptoms are cured.
