NATURAL OPTIONS TO PREVENT URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

If you are a woman, it is very likely that at some point you have experienced a bothersome urinary tract infection. This is a very common condition that occurs along the urinary tract, especially in women. Other risk factors include pregnancy, diabetes, sexual activity, and others.

These infections can occur in the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra), or more severely in the upper urinary tract (kidneys and ureters).

Urinary tract infections commonly cause urinary urgency, pain while urinating, or cloudy, pink, or red urine. Less common and potentially more severe are infections of the upper urinary tract, which are associated with fever, vomiting, and flank pain.

Doctors typically prescribe strong antibiotics to treat infections. However, the excessive use of antibiotics can contribute to antibiotic resistance.

In this article, we will discuss natural alternatives that have been scientifically studied as they support urinary tract health.

CRANBERRIES

Although few know it, these fruits contain substances that can treat or prevent urinary infections. Cranberry juice and powders made with cranberry extract have been used for decades to prevent or treat urinary infections.

PROBIOTICS

 

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that reside in the intestines and have a positive impact on health. They can compete with other bacteria for resources, secrete natural antibacterial chemicals, and prevent pathogenic bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract.

Bacteria from the Lactobacillus family are normally found in the female vagina, and it is known that these bacteria prevent urinary infections. High antibiotic intake can eliminate these bacteria, which may then increase the risk of urinary infection. Thus, supplementing the vaginal flora with Lactobacillus probiotics can be a viable technique for prevention.

Lactobacillus bacteria can also prevent urinary infections by stimulating the immune system and producing substances that kill infectious bacteria.

HIBISCUS

Hibiscus is a family of plants that has traditionally been used to treat many different infections, including urinary infections. Hibiscus plants contain many compounds that have antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties.

One particular compound, gosipetina, has been shown to have antibacterial activity against the bacteria that cause infections.

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is one of the most commonly used vitamin supplements and has a variety of effects on the human body. One potential benefit is that it can acidify urine, which helps inhibit the growth of infectious bacteria in the urinary tract. Additionally, vitamin C is important for immune system function.
