A constant urge to urinate, a burning sensation and pain when urinating - this is what characterises an unpleasant bladder infection. The infection occurs in many women and at any age. 50 % develop urinary tract inflammation in the course of their lives. Another half of those affected suffer from repeated infections.
"It is usually a combination of factors that lead to the inflammation
led to the inflammation. For example, incontinence can damage the protective mucous membranes in the intimate area. However, dry mucous membranes that are unable to resist germs also occur more frequently in the vagina," explains Dr Humburg, adding that "we can usually achieve very good results with accompanying measures and adjustments to everyday life."
