Speaker: Is there any way we can prevent, especially little girls getting urinary tract infections?
Speaker: Well girls should use proper hygiene. They should urinate at regular intervals of every three to four hours. And the common reason is girls get urine infection is just that they hold the urine back. They are very uncomfortable urinating in strange places. So when they are in school they feel uncomfortable using the bathroom in the school. They hold the urine for eight or nine hours, which can lead to incomplete bladder emptying or something we call a non-neurogenic bladder, where they withhold and fight themselves. If this occurs, it can lead to recurrent infections and can only be treated with time behavior modification possibly for biofeedback.
Speaker: If wiping from the anus forward, is that a problem so?
Speaker: That is associated with increased infections and a proper training technique should be done from front to back.
Speaker: If a little girl, or sometimes a boy wakes up having bladder pains or any technique you could say, so they can get through the evening so they could see it off to the next day, is there anything that help them get through that either.
Speaker: If there is no fever and no blood in the urine, usually if they empty the bladder and take some Advil, the pain should resolve. Bladder pain can be a sign of infection, can be a sign of bladder spasm and can be associated with constipation. This can be checked following day.
