How to Cure an Endobacterial Bladder Infection

The Greek translation of endo is (within, inside, into, in, on, inner), thus endobacterial means a bacterial infection within any tissue. An endobacterial infection within the bladder will cause inflammation of the bladder and result in a condition known as cystitis.

The most common treatment for an endobacterial bladder infection is antibiotics, although other options are available. For cost effectiveness, it may be best to treat a bladder infection first by using a homeopathic method. This method is non-invasive and can treat mild bladder infections quite effectively.

If you are in serious pain, including difficulty urinating or intense burning during urination, these could be symptoms of something more serious and require conventional medical attention. A change in location of the pain or an increase in the severity of the symptoms also requires medical attention.

Instructions

Homeopathic Treatment

• 1

  Visit local health food store and purchase sugar-free organic cranberry juice or capsules. Cranberry juice helps prevent bacteria from clinging to the walls of the bladder.

  It is important to buy the cranberry juice from a health food store to avoid the sugar found in most cranberry products sold in general stores. If a health food store is not in your area, cranberry capsules can be found in the vitamin aisle.

• 2

  Drink plenty of water for the next three to five days and monitor your symptoms closely. It is important to flush your bladder consistently, while avoiding sugars and other substances that might irritate the urinary tract---such as alcohol.

• 3

  Consult a health care professional if, after five days of homeopathic treatment, your symptoms have not reduced significantly or subsided completely.

Medical Treatment

• 4

  Contact a doctor that accepts your particular health insurance. If you do not have any medical insurance, there are walk-in clinics in almost every major city that will treat the problem at a much lower cost than visiting a private physician.

• 5

  A medical doctor will generally do a dipstick urine analysis to test for the presence of bacteria in the urine. Then, depending on the results, a follow-up culture analysis of the bacteria may be done to determine the best antibiotics for the particular type bacteria you have contracted.

• 6

  Take the full course of antibiotics prescribed to ensure the bacteria is effectively killed off. Just because symptoms go away, does not mean the infection is gone. Stopping the antibiotic treatment before taking all of it may only lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria and another doctor visit.
