FREQUENT BLADDER INFECTIONS
Frequent bladder infections, or recurrent UTIs, are repeated infections in the urinary bladder that can significantly impact daily life. Common symptoms include painful urination, frequent urges to urinate, and lower abdominal pain. These infections often result from bacterial entry into the urinary tract, with factors such as sexual activity, anatomical abnormalities, and hormonal changes increasing the risk.
Frequent bladder infections can be managed through a comprehensive approach involving antibiotics, preventive antibiotics for recurrent cases, lifestyle modifications, increased hydration, good hygiene practices, and avoiding irritants. Consultation with a urogynaecologist is essential for personalized treatment plans and ongoing management. The goal is to treat the infection, reduce recurrence, and improve overall urinary health by addressing both physical and lifestyle factors.
