My dayghter is 3 yrs. old and has 3 bladder/kidney infections within 4 months. Why??

my daughter is 3 and is fighting her 3rd bladder/ kidney infection in the past 4 months. What causes her to have them so frequently?? what can i do to prevent them?

Like other people said, make sure she is wiping (or is wiped) from front to back. Cranberry juice can be helpful to prevent further infections, but will not clear up one that has already started. Try using some bleach along with your regular detergent when you wash her underwear (I had problems when I was little and my mom said that's what fixed it).

Has her doctor tested her blood sugar levels? If she urinates a lot and gets frequent infections, her doctor should be checking that to rule out diabetes.

Is she potty trained yet? If so, is she wiping front to back? Is she drinking enough water everyday? Have you consulted a urologist? Need more information to give you a coherent answer.

may be the way she is wipping herself, bacteria may be moving into her vaginal area, Always wipe front to back...If thats not the case docs can do cath scans and other tests to see if she has a blockage or bladder relux problems...GL

Only her doctor can give you that answer, however some things to consider are your laundry soap or bleach when washing her underwear (bleach may be too strong for her), too many sugary foods, does she take a lot of bubble baths? (big no-no for little ones). Follow up with her pediatrician b/c there are other things with the kidney/bladder that can lead to infections. Push lots of water for her to drink. Good luck!

Are you/she cleaning herself right, sometimes little girls get frequent uti/bladder infections because they don't clean the right way. Or she might have something else going wrong, she might need to go to a children's urologist.

Give her a cup of cranberry juice to drink every day... have a doctor check for underlying conditions if they haven鈥檛 already!

I am not a doctor but I have written a few books that pertain to the medical field. THe books contain information from groups of doctors. Often times what I have found through my research and in talking with these individuals is that many ailments are caused by subluxations in the spinal column. A subluxation is the abnormal alignment of the vertebrae. A child of three wil have many falls and bumps as they are learning to use their body. So I would not be surprised if your baby had a subluxation. My nephew had a similar situation happen to him as well. I eneded up taking him to my Chiropractor. Chiropractors are the only medical doctors trained to deal with subluxation. Yes chiorpractic is safe for children. I would suggest you find a good chiropractor in your area who specializes in treating children. And by the way, a chiropracotr does so much more than just help with neck and back pain. AS I have said I have researched this extensively for the past 5 years. I would bet that after a few adjustments your daughter will be feeling much better.

I*'m surprised that her doctor hasn't told you more about her condition. A few things could cause the infections:

1. Hygeine. She needs to learn to wipe front to back so that bacteria don't go from the rectum to the urethra.

2. Bubble bath products can cause irritation of the tissues.

3. Regular bathing and cleaning of the genital area with warm water and soap with careful rinsing. and drying.

4. Changing underwear regularly. This goes without saying after bathing (at least once a day).

5. Touching herself with dirty hands?

Have you already gone through the full kidney and colon cleansing processes?

Kidney cleanse is any procedure that involves drinking a huge amount of liquid, and taking care what you are eating. Just a better diet with more water can be enough! But, also any form of bowel cleansing will also help kidneys! The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet is also a Kidney cleanse, juice fasting is also a kidney cleanse, and any other form of fasting that incorporates a lot of liquids, will in the same time clean a kidney. Do you need special herbs? Only if you have acute lower back pain, clear symptom of Kidney stones (sharp glass like crystals, made of phosphoric acid, or sometimes may include other acids). In special occasions, you can get a kidney stone crystallized in less then a few days !!! To melt a stone/stones, you may need a few weeks, or one day with the Watermelon Cleanse.

Herbal Kidney Cleanse Designed by Dr. Hulda Clark from her book "The Cure for All Disease", explains in detail how to cleanse the kidneys, and her cleansing program will get rid of most if not all the stones, WITHOUT surgery.
Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried Hydrangea root
1/2 cup Gravel root
1/2 cup Marshmallow root
4 bunches of fresh parsley
Goldenrod tincture (leave this out of the recipe if you are allergic to it)
Ginger Capsules
Uva Ursi capsules
Vegetable glycerine
Vitamin B6 250mg
Magnesium oxide 300mg or 1/4 cup Green Drink Beverage

Measure 录 cup of each root and set them to soak, Together in 10 cups of cold tap water, using a non-metal container and a non-metal lid (a dinner plate will do). After four hours (or over night), bring liquid with soaked herbs to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Drink a 录 cup as soon as it is cool enough. Pour the rest in through a bamboo or plastic strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers. Refrigerate the glass jar.
Find fresh parsley at a grocery store that does not spray its produce (ask the owner). Boil the fresh parsley, after rinsing, in 1 quart of water for 3 minutes. Strain out the liquid, then drink 录 cup when cool enough. Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint. Put the cooked parsley in your compost bucket.
Dose: each morning, pour together 戮 cup of the root mixture and 陆 cup parsley water, filling a large mug. Add 20 drops of goldenrod tincture and 1 tbs. of glycerin.

Drink this mixture in divided doses throughout the day. Keep cold. Do not drink it all at once or you will get a stomach ache and feel pressure in the bladder. If your stomach is very sensitive, start on half this dose.

Save the roots after the first boiling, storing them in the freezer. After 13 days when your supply runs low, boil the same roots a second time, but add only 6 cups water and simmer only 10 minutes. This will last another 8 days, for a total of three weeks. You may cook the roots a third time if you wish, but the recipe gets less potent. If your problem is severe, only cook them twice.
After three weeks, repeat with fresh herbs. You need to do the kidney cleanse for six weeks to get good results, longer for severe problems.

Also take:

Ginger capsules: one with each meal (3/day).
Uva Ursi capsules: one with breakfast and two with supper
Vitamin B6 (250mg): one per day
Magnesium oxide (300mg): one a day

Take these supplements just before your meal to avoid burping.

Some notes on this recipe: this herbal tea, as well as the parsley, can easily spoil. Heat it to boiling every fourth day if it is being stored in the refrigerator; this resterilizes it. If you sterilize it in the morning you may take it to work without refrigerating it (use a glass container).

There are probably dozens of herbs that can dissolve kidney crystals and stones. If you can only find several of those in the recipe, make the recipe anyway; it will just take longer to get results. Remember that vitamin B6 and magnesium taken daily can prevent oxalate stones from forming. But only if you stop drinking regular tea and cocoa. Tea has 15.6 mg oxalate acid per cup. A tall glass of iced tea could give you over 20 mg oxalate acid. Switch to herb teas. Cocoa and chocolate, also, have too much oxalate acid to be used as beverages.

Remember too that phosphate crystals are made when you eat too much phosphate. Phosphate levels are high in meats, breads, cereals, pastas, and carbonated drinks, eat less of these, and increase your milk (2%), fruits and vegetables. Drink at least 2 pints of water per day.

You can dissolve all your kidney stones in 3 weeks, but make new ones in 3 days if you are drinking tea and cocoa and phosphate beverages.
Cleanse your kidneys at least twice a year.
