Glad to see you again DPR. And as a chronic bladder infection patient, I can advice you to drink cranberry juice. It's known for it's sour taste and it will prevent you from having it again. Trust me, I have had like 20 bladder infections over the last 2 years

If you cut out your bladders, they can't get infected!

Thank you all for the well wishes, and I am feeling a lot better now. Also the suggestion of drinking cranberry juice sounds good, but I question it's effectivness if you've had 20 infections in 2 years...

Strange. I've never had it - or so I think.
I remember that I often heard that it can occur when the body is getting too cold.
Possible solution : wear warmer clothes, especially in the lower parts of the body !

Lol, the cold sounds more like a myth to me... Actually, the version of this belief we have here, which is sitting on something cold rather than getting the body cold. The body getting cold can favor infection, but that would not apply specifically to bladder infections, IMO...
As for cranberry juice, it is great for prevention and can help to heal bladder infection. (Of course, hat alone, maybe not though.) One of the reasons why it is benefic is because it contains an agent that prevents some bacteria to attach themselves to the urinary tract tissues. Another is because it favors the immune system and it is suspected that the high amount of vitamin C it contains, of which some ends up in the urine and acidifies it, would make the bacteria less resistant/functional.

Fille is right, it's the vitamine C in the juice that prevents you from having an infection. You can also check your bladder in the hospital for bladderstones, it's like kidneystones but in your bladder. They also gives a lot of infections. Cranberry is very yummie to dring everyday, and you only have to drink about a glass or two from it. If you go see a herbal shop, they can give you concentrated Cranberry juice, that you have to take with a soup spoon. go try it, i do it now and it seems to help me. Good luck DPR
