What is the difference between a bladder infection and a urinary tract infection?

19 Feb 2010

19 Feb, 2010  bladder

I have had both both but I never really understood the difference. A bladder infection obviously affects your bladder opposed to your urinary tract and the UTI affects the urinary tract. How do the symptoms differ? Are they both treated the same way? Thanks

The symptoms of both are about the same, with the exception of pain / discomfort in the pelvic area (for bladder infection) and the kind of urine you pass (cloudy / strong smelling for cystitis and bacteria in the urine for a UTI.

Bladder infection (cystitis) symptoms

?A strong, persistent urge to urinate
?A burning sensation when urinating
?Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
?Blood in the urine (hematuria)
?Passing cloudy or strong-smelling urine
?Discomfort in the pelvic area
?A feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
?Low-grade fever

UTI symptoms
?A strong, persistent urge to urinate
?A burning sensation when urinating
?Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
?Blood in the urine (hematuria) or cloudy, strong-smelling urine
?Bacteria in the urine (bacteriuria)

The one and only TRUE Kegelmaster

Warning! 
The generic "Kegel Exerciser" is a poor imitation of our patented product, not possibly being able to work as well.  
More details about this and other competitive devices in the Discussion Forum.

Beware of cheap, ineffective, fraudulent imitations! If it does not have 15 strength settings and does not have a completely adjustable knob, it is not a genuine Kegelmaster.
There is no technique or competitive product at any price that compares to the genuine Kegelmaster. There are other products such as vaginal weights and cones that are tedious to use,
and there are conventional "kegel exercises", likewise tedious, but there is nothing to rival the Kegelmaster and slowly but surely the world is finding out!

 

    Although the KegelMaster? was invented to stop and prevent female incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain, etc., the sexual benefits turn out to be a wonderful bonus! 
We appreciate the favorable articles that are appearing in magazines such as
Marie Claire?, and Globe? .

Ready to feel more intense pleasure than you?ve ever imagined? This one simple flex will transform your sex life.

 

Here, the story of Rachel, 32, married six years, who swears by it.
Sex? Oh, it?s fine (most of the time).

 That?s what Rachel, like a lot of women, used to say before she discovered a tiny exer­cise that changed everything. ?I always felt very confident in my ability to please my husband. But when it came to my own body, pleasure was a mystery. Sometimes?if we were too tired to give it the extra effort?I wouldn?t climax at all.

?Two months after I started the Kegel exercises,
I began having intense all-body orgasms.

So when a friend told her that these pubococcygeus (PC) flexes, called Kegel exercises (which involve nothing more than squeezing that hold back urine), could make sex absolutely amazing, Rachel hit the Internet, eager to learn more. ?I found out how easy it is to strengthen my muscles on my own,? she says. ?And just for fun, I also bought the Kegelmaster 2000 (www mykm.com). It?s like a Stair-Master for your PC muscles.? After only three weeks, Rachel noticed a huge improvement in her orgasms: ?They felt a lot better, and I had them more often.?

A bigger big 0

But the best was yet to come (literally!): ?Just two months after I started the Kegel exercises, I began having these really intense all-body orgasms that were triggered by his thrusts,? she reports. ?With this new kind of orgasm, there?s a pleasurable pressure that starts building, and as it increases, I feel like I can?t keep going because it?s too intense. But once I give in to that overwhelming feeling and continue, that?s when I have these amazing, well, body spasms?and it just feels good beyond words.?
