Alternative Cure for Urinary Tract Infection

Improper evacuation of urine from the bladder results in microbial growth and infection in the urinary bladder, urethra and kidneys. This is referred to as urinary tract infection. Delay in treatment results in infection in the kidneys, known as pyelonephritis.

Increased urge to urinate, burning sensation, cloudy urine and passing smaller quantities are the typical symptoms.

Cranberry juice is an age old effective remedy for urinary tract infection. It also prevents further infection.

Herbs, such as goldenseal, buchu, horsetail and marshmallow root are also helpful. Drinking lots of water is helpful in removing the toxic metabolites. Caffeinated beverages, alcohol and spicy foods are abstained from. A hot compress placed on the abdominal region is an effective remedy. Smoking is avoided, as it results in bladder cancer. The entire course of medication is helpful and is completed.

Over-the-counter pain killers are effective in pain relief. Holding back the urge to urinate is the main culprit. Apart from foods and drinks, other preventive measures are also taken care of, such as avoiding harsh chemicals in the private areas. Washing tha area well, after sex is vital in preventing infection. Wiping well after visiting the toilet is important.
