Cranberry, which you can get at the drugstore in pill form, is supposed to be good at warding off bladder infections.

 

You also might want to try avoiding bladder irritants to see if that helps at all. Dr. Sobol wrote a sharepost about bladder irritants here and I wrote one here. Hopefully those will be helpful!

 

Good luck!
