How to treat inflammation of the bladder?
Inflammation of the bladder is a painful infection which is at first felt as a frequent and urgent need to urinate. Other symptoms include: blood in the urine, pressure in the lower pelvis, abnormal urine color (cloudy) and foul or strong urine odor. If not treated, it can spread and affect the kidneys. First aid for inflammation of the bladder is water: drink large quantities of it, half a liter every half an hour. The usual painkillers or anti-inflammatory meds might help at an early stage. Bearberry (Uva ursi) tea is even better than water: it has antibacterial properties, which can fight infection due to several chemicals, including hydroquinone. The herb also contains tannins that have astringent effects, helping to shrink and tighten mucous membranes in the body. That, in turn, helps reduce inflammation and fights infection. You can buy it in any pharmacy; it is advisable to drink it no longer than a week. In case you don’t get better in a week, pay a visit to your doctor. Other
