Urinary Bladder Infections

Urinary bladder infections occurred more often in female than in males. Fever does not seems to go away. The lower back aches and there may be burning sensation while urination. In serious cases, the legs are not even able to support the person.

Why are females more susceptible to this infections?

There is a need to wash thoroughly after urination and dry properly as the damp area smeared with urine may cause bacteria growth which enters into the urinary system.

After clearing the bowel, females should use toilet paper to wipe from front to back of the anus. There may be bacteria transmission if the waste matter is accidentally come into contact with the Vulva if wiping action is from back to front of the anus. The auto-wash sanitary may pose a hazard to females as the flushing of the anus is from the rear and waste matter liquid can splash and come into contact with the Vulva. Washing should be done from front to back.
During sexual intercourse, some sex partners practise oral intercourse during foul play. The bacteria of the saliva thus makes contact with the urinary system. Virginal bacteria is also transmitted to the partner from the saliva in the mouth. A sterilised rubbery latex condom can be used to prevent direct contact.

Anal intercourse also introduces bacteria from the Large Intestine to the Urinary system when the virginal intercourse is performed later. The more hygienic way is to use condom for anal intercourse and not use the same condom for virginal intercourse. However, the condom used for virginal intercourse can be used for anal intercourse as introducing bacteria from the virginal to the Large Intestine has no serious consequences.

Venereal diseases are also the likely causes.

Urinary Bladder infections in males are usually due to prostate infections and venereal diseases.

Practise safe sex for both partners' health and well being.
