What causes a bladder infection?
Hello, First of all, we need to define the bladder infection. Do you have confirmed culture positive bladder infections, or do you have burning/irritation during urination? Both of these scenarios need different investigations and treatments. Recurrent culture positive urine infection requires thorough investigation of urinary tract to rule out any anatomical problems, pockets of infection, and making sure the patient completes the course of antibiotics even after the symptoms have improved to avoid treatment failure due to incomplete treatment and development of antibiotic resistance. Patients who have urinary symptoms, bacterial culture negative, is more often due to decreased water intake. In some cases, they also need to be tested for other rare types of infection. Hope this helps. Thanks, Dr. Thukral READ MORE
