You : You suffered from a condition called pyelonephritis. This type of infection is caused by certain bacteria, the most common being e. Coli; this infection spreads from the urinary tract (UTI) to the bladder and can spread all the way to the kidneys. The most common way to get a UTI (more so in women) is by bacteria from the rectum easily traveling up the urethra(where the urine comes out). There are certain risk factors for developing pyelonephritis, which include: diabetes, pregnancy, older age, narrow urethra, surgey, enlarged prostate, etc. It may be difficult to determine why you developed pyelonephrits, however there are ways to help prevent this from happening again: avoid alcohol and caffeine avoid tight-fitting clothing drinking plenty of fluids (cranberry juice, water) instead of baths take a shower urinating before and after sexual intercourse wiping from front to back after a bowel movement avoid undergarments made from synthetics avoid use of scented products around the genitals always see your doctor if you suspect you have a UTI or pyelonephritis.

Pyelonephritis: Bladder infection is cystitis. Kidney infection is called pyelonephritis.
