Some yeast infection symptoms are similar to the symptoms associated with bladder problems. In many cases, the antibiotics that are prescribed for bladder infections actually trigger a yeast problem. If you are taking antibiotics for a yeast infection you should eat plain yogurt daily or take acidophilus capsules. This will help restore the proper PH balance in your body and will mitigate the chances of yeast infection occurring.

The same preventive methods that help ward of yeast infections can also be helpful in preventing bladder problems:
?? Drink lots water every day. (If you have an active infection you should drink enough to pour out a good stream of urine every hour.)
?? Avoid or reduce the use of alcohol and caffeine because both of these irritate the bladder.
?? Try drinking unsweetened cranberry juice, which makes your urine more acidic and helps to prevent both urinary tract infections
?? Avoid refined sugar because it aggravates yeast infections.
?? Keep up your resistance by eating well, resting well, and finding ways to reduce the stress in your life.
Some people prefer an herbal approach to treating yeast infections and bladder problems. Before the discovery of sulfa drugs, the herb uva ursi (traditionally known as bearberry) was used as an antiseptic to treat urinary tract infections. Tea bags and extracts are now widely available.
The leaves' antiseptic effect results from the metabolic breaking down of the herb's glycosides into an antibacterial substance. The tea can be consumed three or four times a day. The taste is bitter and may cause nausea in children and those with sensitive stomachs. Pregnant women should avoid the herb entirely. Others should use it only for a few days at a time as it can be toxic with overuse.
Buchu leaves, from a South African shrub, have been used as a disinfectant diuretic for mild urinary tract inflammations. Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 teaspoonful of buchu leaves. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. You can drink the tea two times a day.

Medical studies have found that the volatile oils in lovage contain a host of anti-inflammatory and antiseptic constituents that can soothe inflammation of the urinary tract. To make tea, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of minced dry lovage root. Steep for 10 minutes. Then strain and drink. The tea should not be consumed by people with kidney problems.
Parsley leaves and roots contain varying amounts of a volatile oil with diuretic properties. A parsley tea may be useful for mild bladder problems, to reduce the urinary tract inflammation, and to facilitate the passage of small kidney stones. Add 1 teaspoon of mixed leaves to 1 cup boiling water. Avoid the seeds and oil, which can be toxic in large doses. People with kidney disease should consult a doctor before using parsley to treat their bladder infections.

Both yeast infections and bladder irritation can be uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing. If you have chronic symptoms you should talk to your doctor about the best way to treat your yeast infection and bladder irritation problems.

Do I have a urinary tract infection? How long before it gets really bad?
smartcookie asked on Tue, 30 Dec, 2008
I think I have a urinary tract infection. I won't be able to go to the doctor until Thursday and I was wondering if its okay if I waited or if I should go to the doctor immediately? Also is there anyway I can stop the pain in the meantime? I heard that drinking lots of water and cranberry juice helps. Also as a side, what really causes urinary tract infections? I've never had anything like this before.

UTI's can get worse daily and can spread into your kidneys. It is more painful the longer it is left untreated. Thursday should be ok, but no later then that!
In the meantime...You should go to walmart or a drug store and purchase AZO for UTI's. It is located with the condoms/yeast infection medicine. The AZO will numb your urinary track and make you 90% more comfortable. You will pee bright orange/yellow and it might "leak" from your bladder and stain your panties. It is worth it though!

there is a product available over the counter, one brand is called AZO, it turns your urine orange, but it will alleviate the symptoms. (generic name is pyridium) This will not cure the infection, it just masks the symptoms. Do not wait any longer than you absolutely must, bladder infections can and do travel to the kidneys and can cause all sorts of nasty complications there. Be sure to drink a minimum of 2 quarts of water daily.

I don't know why you can't go to the dr. now (maybe cause they can't get you in?) Either way it would be better to leave them a sample even if the dr. can't see you. If the dr. that can't see you is a primary dr. try your gyn dr. or vice versa. UTI's can go into the kidneys if not treated. The best thing to do is drink lots of fluid to help flush the bladder but you will need antibiotics. By the time you see the dr. on Thursday they should hopefully have the results in by then. I hope you told them the reason why you need to be seen. They shouldn't make you wait to get in and they will have to send the sample to the lab which can take a few days anyway to get back. Sometimes they can do a dipstick test as a preliminary but it doesn't mean that it will come back positive if you have an infection. Sometimes it comes back clear and then the lab test shows up positive.
Be careful about over the counter meds as some of them may contain an antimicrobial in it and may cause a false negative result. I looked at one called Cystex and found that it had some bacteria fighters in it so I didn't take it.
The cause of UTI's can be from bacteria being pushed up to the front because the entrances are closer together in females. Women can get them after sex too. They can cause you to have some burning and urgency (peeing every few minutes even when there is barely anything to come out). I have had bleeding after I went so many times.
Hopefully a dr. can get you on some antibiotics if you can't wait for the lab work to come back. I'd be safe and tell them you are going to leave a sample as you are very uncomfortable. If you start to get a fever let your dr. know even if you have to call the answering service. I've called my dr. back after just seeing him that same day and rather than having me wait till the lab work came back he called me in some Cipro which is a powerful antibiotic.
Also the dr. can call in something prescription strength for the burning and urgency. I've had better luck with some of the things the dr. gave me and it didn't stain my clothing orange. One medication I can think of is Urelle. It's a purple coated pill and it may give you a light blue or green urine but I didn't have to worry about my clothes being stained. The orange stuff like Uristat another over the counter medicine for pain can be hard to wash off. You will most likely need to wear a pad cause it can be all over down there. Good luck and feel better
