URINARY TRACT INFECTION: HOMEOPATHY APPROACH

Urinary tract infection or UTI is an infection in any part of the urinary tract that includes the kidneys, urinary bladder, and urinary tract. Women are more susceptible to UTIs than men.

Causes of UTI:

• Bladder infection: It is also known as cystitis which is mainly caused by E-coli bacteria.
• Urinary tract infections: Also known as the urinary tract, it is mainly caused by sexual
• Urinary tract infections: Also known as the urinary tract, it is mainly caused by sexual intercourse, because the urinary proximity of the vagina can also cause sexual diseases such as STDs, gonorrhea and herpes simplex.

The following people have anb increased risk of urinary tract infections:

• Kidney stones
• The bladder is not completely empty (for example, spinal cord injury or menopause)
• HIV/AIDS diabetes and people who take immunosuppressant medications like chemotherapy for cancer in which the immune system decreases.
• Women who are sexually active: Sexual intercourses can inject a large number of bacteria into the bladder. Urinating after intercourse seems to reduce the chances of urinary tract infection.
• Women who use the diaphragm for birth control.
• Prostatitis or blockage of the urinary tract by the enlarged prostate does not empty the bladder entirely, thus increasing the risk of infection. This is most common in older men.
• Men are also less likely to get UTIs because their urinary tract (tube from the bladder) is longer. And the fluid produced in the prostate can fight bacteria.
• Breastfeeding has been found to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.

Symptoms of UTI:

• Urinating frequently: A constant desire to urinate is one of the early signs of UTI. The urge continues even when the bladder is empty.
• Dysuria: It means a painful discharge or feeling of uneasiness while urinating. The pain usually burns.
• Hematuria or blood in the urine: Bacteria growing in the urinary tract can invade the lining of the urinary tract causing damage. Blood goes out of the urine. The presence of bacteria can cause urine to become cloudy.
• Back pain: Can cause pain in the back and pain in the area of the thigh root. Some people also complain about severe abdominal pain and cramps.
• High fever: If the bacteria reach the kidneys to spread the infection, you get a cold and have a lot of fever. The temperature can go up to 101 degrees Fahrenheit or even above.
• Nausea: General weakness, fatigue or nausea are common. Sometimes, vomiting can also occur.
• If bacteria pass from an infected kidney into the blood, it can be life-threatening, a condition known as 'urosepsis' that can lead to extremely low blood pressure, trauma and death.
