Keep Your Bladder Active and Bacteria-Free

Have you ever wondered why we urinate? Urination occurs as a result of the removal of excess liquid and wastes from the blood in the form of urine.  The liquids pass through the kidneys which are the organs responsible for the filtration of the said wastes from the bloodstream.  

 Normally, urination is an easy, painless body function.  But people who experience urinating with only very small amounts of liquid coupled with a burning sensation, the situation is really far from being normal.  Chances are, these people are suffering from quick uti relief (UTI), the second most common type of infection in the body which affects the urinary tract.


Urine is normally sterile. It is usually free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi and only contains fluids, salts, and waste products. However, when bacteria gets into the bladder or kidney, these microbes multiply in the urine and causes a bacterial infection in the urethra, the short tube where urine passes from the bladder to the outside of the body.  This is called urethritis.

Another type of UTI is cystitis which is a bacterial infection of the bladder.  This is the most common type of UTI which causes minor discomfort and can be easily treated.  Without proper treatment, it may lead to the third and more serious type of UTI which involves infection of the kidneys, known as pyelonephritis.  This type of UTI makes a person experience back pain, high fever and vomiting.


Usually, women are more prone to UTI than men due to the differences in the shape and length of the urethra.  Women have shorter urethras compared to men, where the opening is located closer to the rectum and vagina --- parts were bacteria are likely to be found.

UTI can also be caused by an abnormality in the structure and/or function of the urinary tract. One of the most common functional problems encountered is called vesicoureteral reflux, a condition in which some urine flows backward, or refluxes, from the bladder into the ureters and even up to the kidneys.


UTI is not contagious.  However, during sexual intercourse, the bacteria in the vaginal area may be pushed into the urethra and eventually end up in the bladder, where urine provides a good environment for the bacteria to grow.  For this reason, women who are sexually active often learn how to treat urine infection.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) like chlamydia may cause UTI-like symptoms, such as pain during urination due to the inflammation and irritation of the urethra or vagina.  Unlike UTI, STDs are contagious and when left untreated, STDs may lead to serious long-term problems which  includes pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.
