I suffered for many years with both bladder infections and kidney infections and I know how terribly painful they can be. If you seem to be having them more often then normal I would suggest you see a Urologist. Sometimes their workup can uncover a condition that makes it more easy for infections to get started. A family doctor can only provide the medications to cure it going to a Urologist may be what you need. I have not passed any kidney stones for a longtime nor have I had a kidney infection. But I did end up with interstitial cystitis that is very painful. A book you might find helpful is called: You Don't Have To Live With Cystitis, by Larrian Gillespie, M.D. Sometimes just a change in diet, meaning avoiding certain foods can prevent infections. Like chocolate, tomato products, orange juice, etc.. If you have any other questions let me know and I will try to help. |
