Bladder infections are a common problem for women; however, due to the greater distance between the bladder and urethral opening, these infections are less common in men. Symptoms include burning during urination, frequency of urination, and urgency, possibly accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and cloudy or bloody urine. Occasionally, the infection spreads upward into the kidneys, producing symptoms such as intense back pain, high fever, chills, nausea and diarrhea. Antibiotic therapy is usually indicated. Natural support therapies include cranberry and saw palmetto berries
