Antibiotic Awareness: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Cystitis or Bladder Infection

health No Comments »

Watch this video to learn more about signs and symptoms of UTI and when to treat a UTI with antibiotics.
Transcript: Did you know bacteria can live in the bladder without causing an infection?
Hi, I’m Dr. Amit Desai, in partnership with Washington State Department of Health, I’m here to speak to you urinary tract infections, also known as cystitis or bladder infections.
The most important thing for you to remember today is that you should only take antibiotics for a bladder infection when you have symptoms and a positive urine test.
Bladder infections are very common bacterial infections in the bladder that can cause a feeling where you can’t wait to urinate, a need to urinate more often, and burning when urinating. Other possible symptoms include lower abdominal or flank pain, chills, fever, and blood in the urine.
A bacteria called E coli is the most common cause of bladder infection. But this bacteria can also live in the bladder without causing an infection.
For these reasons, bacteria found in the urine without any symptoms should only be treated in special cases like – women who are pregnant, and in people who are about to have a urologic surgery.
So remember, one way we can avoid unnecessary overuse of antibiotics is to avoid treating a positive test for bacteria when there are no symptoms. Also, it is important not to pressure your provider to prescribe antibiotics.
Thank you for taking the time to listen, I’m Dr. Amit Desai with the Washington State Department of Health.

Recognizing the early warning signs of bladder cancer

health No Comments »

There’s no easy screening test, there’s no splashy awareness month and there are few clues to its existence early on. But experts urge people to pay attention to the signs of bladder cancer, which will develop in some 63,000 Americans each year.

Neurogenic Bladder

Neurogenic Bladder

To learn more about neurogenic bladder, visit: https://www.childrenscolorado.org/conditions-and-advice/conditions-and-symptoms/conditions/neurogenic-bladder/.

When the nerves that control the bladder are not working correctly, it can cause the bladder to lose control. This can lead to children having urinary tract infections, daytime and nighttime wetting (incontinence), and can cause long term kidney damage. Watch this animation to learn more about neurogenic bladder.

What Are Bladder Stones?

health No Comments »

Let’s face it – most of us have heard of kidney stones or maybe have even experienced them, but bladder stones? Yes, stones can form in the bladder. They are much more common in men past the age of 50 but are much less common than kidney stones.

If they are small enough they may cause no symptoms passing on out the body on their own without a person even knowing they had any. But, unfortunately, more often than not, they will make their appearance known causing pain or other problems on urination.

Bladder stones are hard masses of minerals in your bladder. The bladder’s job is to collect urine that comes down from the kidneys. As the bladder fill up throughout the day, you will get the urge to empty its contents.

Generally, the bladder will be completely emptied but there can be certain health issues preventing that from happening. Any urine left in the bladder after urination can develop stones from minerals that crystallize in the concentrated urine.

The signs or symptoms of bladder stones can vary from severe abdominal pain to blood in the urine. Sometimes there may be no signs of them whatsoever as small bladder stones can pass unnoticed without treatment.

However, if a stone is irritating the walls of the bladder or is blocking the flow of urine, the symptoms can include:
·Lower abdominal pain
·In men, pain or discomfort in the penis or testicles
·Burning sensation when urinating
·Frequent urination
·Difficulty urinating or an interruption of the urine flow
·Blood in the urine

Causes Of Bladder Stones
The primary cause of bladder stones is not completely emptying the bladder of urine. This is when urine will form crystals. Other causes can be some infections or an underlying condition affecting the bladder’s ability to hold, store, or eliminate urine.

Prostate Gland Enlargement In Men or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common cause of bladder stones in men. When the prostate is enlarged this can obstruct the flow of urine preventing a complete elimination or emptying of the bladder.

Diagnosis of Bladder Stones
To diagnosis bladder stones, the following procedures may be done:
·A physical exam
·Urinalysis – a urine sample will be taken to examine for microscopic amounts of blood, bacteria, and crystallized minerals. This can also help determine if a urinary tract infection is the cause of the bladder stones.
·CT of the bladder
·Ultrasound to detect bladder stones
·X-ray of the kidneys, bladder and ureters

Treatment And Prevention Of Bladder Stones
Most likely bladder stones will need to be removed which can be done with a procedure called a cystolitholapaxy. This procedure will help break up stones into pieces small enough to pass in the urine. If a stone is too large or hard to break up, then they can be removed surgically.

Signs and Symptoms of Bladder Cancer

What are the signs and symptoms of bladder cancer? Dana-Farber’s Matthew Mossanen, MD talks about who is most at risk, bladder cancer’s symptoms, and how it is diagnosed. Learn more about the Genitourinary Cancer Treatment Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute here: https://www.dana-farber.org/genitourinary-cancer-treatment-center/.

Most people know little about bladder cancer, even though there are more than a half million people in the U.S. with the disease. Cheryl Lee, MD, a urologic oncologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, explains that one of the earliest signs of bladder cancer is blood in the urine. Although this may also be an indication of other conditions, it is important to always follow up with your physician if you do have blood in your urine because early detection is your best chance for a cure. You should also try to eliminate the primary risks for bladder cancer: smoking and exposure to chemicals. Also important is eating a well-balanced diet, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, and drinking plenty of water.
