Urinary tract infections
They occur when bacteria, which normally live in and around the lower urinary tract, invade the urethra and infect the urine bladder, which is sterile under normal conditions. Most infections occur when the urine is alkaline, while acidic urine prevents bacterial infection.
Calculations, crystals in the bladder
Struvite stones form when certain types of bacteria seen in chronic urinary tract infections break down urea into ammonia. The ammonia then combines with phosphorus and magnesium and the stones form. Acidic urine helps prevent infection and consequently stone formation.
