Question 9

could bladder training cause uti?

Accepted Answer

I believe so: Little children don't understand need to relax pelvic floor muscles or urinary sphincer to urinate. Parents may suggest that child pushes urine out squeezes abdomen. Either way child will then contract pelvic floor musles whilst trying to push urine out. This leads to poor bladder emptying ; utis. My advice is give access to potty ; tell child to make shhhh. Child will then try to duplicate sound.

what can i do about my bladder / uti problems?

Accepted Answer

Cranberry: Studies show that taking cranberry tablets or cranberry juice can reduce the risk of utis.  Drinking lots of fluids and emptying your bladder before and after intercourse may help, too.  If you have 3 utis in a year, your doctor may recommend taking a low dose of antibiotic when you have intercourse.
