Home Remedy For Effective Treatment Of Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary  tract infections are a problem that most often affects adult women. This is because their urethra is shorter than that of men, which allows bacteria to access these parts of the body more easily.

Urinary  tract infections include pain and burning, increased frequency of urination, a feeling of full bladder and a cloudy color of urine. If you are a victim of this type of infection, read this article and learn how to deal with it at home.

Urinary tract infections – Causes and symptoms

Urinary tract infections can be divided into two main types: upper urinary tract infections, which primarily affect the kidneys and urethra, and lower urinary tract infections, which affect the urethra and bladder.

Both types can be caused by the same factors but differ in the duration of treatment. Here are some factors that trigger urinary tract infections:

• inadequate hygiene
• hormonal changes
• constipation
• pregnancy
• diabetes
• prostate inflammation (for men)
• prolonged urinary retention
• sedentary lifestyle
• bacteria such as E coli
• mushrooms
• viruses
• parasites

Here are the main symptoms of a urinary tract infection:

• pain and burning sensation when urinating
• lower back pain
• fever
• cloudy or intense color, or foamy urine
• sudden and frequent need to urinate
• constant feeling of a full bladder
• a small amount of urine

Popular remedies for urinary tract infections

• Dissolve 1/4 tablespoon of baking soda in 125 milliliters of water. Drink two glasses of plain water followed by a glass of this mixture.

• Drink plenty of cranberry juice. It prevents the bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary system and allows them to be expelled from the body faster.
• Drink two tablespoons of unrefined coconut oil daily. You can also start your day with a glass of water or coconut milk on an empty stomach and repeat this ritual before going to bed. This method will help fight  E coli bacteria , which are usually resistant to antibiotics.
• Asparagus is an excellent cleansing agent. Not only do they help to remove harmful substances and microorganisms from the urinary tract, they also effectively treat all types of infections. If your urine changes color slightly after consuming asparagus, don’t worry – it’s perfectly normal.
• Peel two cloves of garlic and squeeze them into a glass of cold water. Leave for 5 minutes and then drink it. Use three times a day until symptoms of infection disappear. Garlic is an effective weapon in the fight against various infections, because it has a bactericidal effect.

Other recommendations for urinary tract infections

• Do not hold your urine with you as excessive urine accumulation can cause inflammation and expansion of the bladder, giving bacteria a larger area for them to grow and multiply.
• Drink plenty of fluids – this will allow you to excrete bacteria along with your urine and prevent their further multiplication. Your urine should become almost transparent.
• Choose foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus. These will make your urine acidic and prevent bacteria from multiplying in your bladder.

• Take care of proper intimate hygiene. If you are a woman, use pads instead of tampons.
• Avoid alcohol as it tends to irritate your urinary system and will only make you feel worse if you are already suffering from an infection.
