TREAT AND PREVENT URINARY TRACT INFECTION

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of any part of the urinary system. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract. UTIs are given different names depending on where they occur such as:

• Bladder infection - cystitis
• Urethra infection - urethritis
• Kidney infection - pyelonephritis

Women are more likely to develop UTIs than men due to anatomical differences; the urethra is shorter in women than in men, and it is closer to the anus, making it more likely that bacteria are transferred to the bladder.Over 50 percent of all women will experience at least one UTI during their lifetime, with 20-30 percent experiencing recurrent UTIs.

Pregnant women are not more likely to develop a UTI than other women, but if one does occur, it is more likely to travel up to the kidneys; this is because of anatomical changes during pregnancy that affect the urinary tract. As a UTI in pregnancy can prove dangerous for both maternal and infant health, most pregnant women are tested for the presence of bacteria in their urine, even if there are no symptoms, and treated with antibiotics to prevent spread.

Most UTIs are not serious, but some can lead to serious problems, particularly with upper urinary tract infections. Recurrent or long-lasting kidney infections (chronic) can cause permanent damage, and some sudden kidney infections (acute) can be life-threatening, particularly if septicemia (bacteria entering the bloodstream) occurs. They can also increase the risk of women delivering low birth weight or premature infants.

Urinary tract infections are caused by microbes such as bacteria overcoming the body's defenses in the urinary tract. They can affect the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that run between them.

The urinary tract is responsible for removing waste and excess water from the body. It consists of the bladder, the kidneys, the ureters, and the urethra.

The kidneys filter the blood and remove waste and surplus water to form urine, which then travels down the urethras and is stored in the bladder until it is ready to be passed through the urethra (urination).

The opening of the urethra is the end of the penis in males and at the front of the vagina in females. The urinary tract can be divided into the upper urinary tract and the lower urinary tract. The upper urinary tract consists of the kidneys and the ureters, and the lower urinary tract consists of the bladder and the urethra.

Causes
The vast majority of UTI cases are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli), usually found in the digestive system. Chlamydia and Mycoplasma bacteria can infect the urethra but not the bladder.

People of any age and sex can develop a UTI; however, some people are more at risk than others. The following factors can increase the likelihood of developing a UTI:
• Sexual intercourse (especially if more frequent, intense, and with multiple or new partners)
• Diabetes
• Poor personal hygiene
• Problems emptying the bladder completely
• Having a urinary catheter
• Bowel incontinence
• Blocked flow of urine
• Kidney stones
• Some forms of contraception
• Menopause
• Procedures involving the urinary tract
• Suppressed immune system
• Immobility for a long period
• Use of spermicides and tampons
• Heavy use of antibiotics (which can disrupt the natural flora of the bowel and urinary tract).

Symptoms of urinary tract infections

The symptoms of a urinary tract infection can depend on age, gender, the presence of a catheter, and what part of the urinary tract has been infected.

Common symptoms of urinary tract infection include:
• Strong and frequent urge to urinate
• Cloudy, bloody, or strong smelling urine
• Pain or burning sensation when urinating
• Nausea and vomiting
• Muscle aches and abdominal pains

People with catheters may only experience fever as a symptom, making diagnosis more difficult.
Acute pyelonephritis.

Acute pyelonephritis is a sudden and severe kidney infection. If an individual develops this condition they could also experience upper back and side pain, high fever, shaking, chills, fatigue, and mental changes. It is considered an emergency and should be evaluated by a doctor immediately if suspected.

Cystitis
If a person has a bladder infection, they could also experience low fever, and pressure and cramping in the abdomen and lower back.

HERBAL REMEDY (TREATMENT OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS)

As urinary tract infections are normally caused by bacteria, they are most commonly treated with antibiotics or antimicrobials. The type of medication and length of treatment will depend on the patient's symptoms and history.

The full course of treatment should always be completed for UTIs to make sure that the infection is fully clear, and to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. UTI symptoms can disappear before the infection has completely gone. Our treatment pattern is based on natural herbal extracts which our products are based on.

Load Up on Vitamin C for a Healthy Urinary Tract
Getting plenty of foods high in vitamin C is important, because large amounts of vitamin C make urine more acidic. This inhibits the growth of bacteria in your urinary tract, according to the Johns Hopkins Medicine health library. If you have an active UTI, taking vitamin C supplements may help, too, advises Kandis Rivers, MD, a urologist at Henry Ford Health System in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Drink Plenty of Fluids
Drinking water or fluids throughout the day helps flush bacteria from your system. A 2013 study conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas found that chronic low fluid intake may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections — just one of many reasons to stay hydrated. (1) Drink at least one glass of water for every meal and snack of the day in order to flush out bacteria that can lead to infection.

Urinate Often
Urinating often and when the urge arises ensures that bacteria isn’t growing in urine that stays in the bladder. It’s also important to urinate soon after sexual intercourse in order to flush out bacteria that may have entered the urethra. Studies have found that holding urine for a long time allows bacterial to multiply within the urinary tract, resulting in a urinary tract infection.

Stay Clean and Dry
Women should wipe from front to back, especially after a bowel movement. This ensures that bacteria doesn’t get into the urethra. It’s also important to wear loose-fitting clothes and underwear, which allows air to keep the urethra dry. Wearing tight jeans or material like nylon can be problematic because moisture can be trapped, allowing bacteria to grow.

Nutraceuticals which are not orthodox drugs have been shown to be more effective than their Pharmaceutical counterparts. And the most effective ones in the market today are Aloe Power, Buchu Power, Defender, Super cider and Immune booster.

Testimonies abound of how people have been rid of UTIs that once plagued them.
