HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A URINARY TRACT INFECTION?

Regular sufferers of Urinary Tract Infections will recognize only too well the familiar pain and burning sensations which herald the onset of a UTI. Some or all of the following symptoms may be present:

* Dark, cloudy, strong smelling urine
* A general feeling of being unwell
* A stinging, burning sensation when passing urine
* Tenderness or mild pain in the lower abdomen or lower back
*An increase in the frequency of urination
* Small amounts of blood in the urine
*An urgent need to urinate even if there is very little urine to pass

ARE THERE ANY NATURAL TREATMENTS I CAN TRY?

Many people believe that antibiotics are the best way to treat a UTI, however, there are various natural treatments you can try which have varying degrees of effectiveness. These will help alleviate the worst of the symptoms whilst waiting for a cure to take effect.

* Drink a minimum of 6-8 glasses of water each day as this will have the dual effect of helping flush bacteria out of your system and giving relief when passing urine
* Place a heat pad on the abdomen. This should help relieve the pain.
* Do not use perfumed products on the vaginal area
* Avoid close fitting trousers or nylon tights
*Urinate when you feel the need to, even if this causes pain
* Drink 2 glasses of unsweetened cranberry juice each day. Cranberry juice has a component which can help prevent bacteria adhering to the bladder walls
* Wear cotton underwear
* Take a vitamin C supplement to help strengthen the immune system to fight bacteria
* Treat constipation promptly as this can cause additional pressure on the bladder, worsening existing symptoms
* Consume Acidophilus yogurt daily as this can help "good" bacteria proliferate
* Take a vitamin C supplement to help strengthen the immune system to fight bacteria

* Increase consumption of the following fruits and vegetables: onions, spinach, carrots,potatoes, zucchini, squash, broccoli, green beans, avocados, grapes, apples and pears. These have been shown to help combat certain types of bacteria.

SO WHAT ABOUT ANTIBIOTICS?

There is much controversy over the use of antibiotics in general medicine and their use in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections is not excluded from this.

It has been proven that the incorrect use of antibiotics is causing "antibiotic resistance" whereby bacteria are developing which are virtually untreatable. Several such strains of bacteria already exist and alternative methods of treatment for infections of all description should be sought.

As far as Urinary Tract Infections are concerned, even with proper use, their effectiveness can reduce over time. I personally had many courses of treatment over a few years and noticed that it seemed to be taking longer and longer for them to work. Eventually I was given a low-dose antibiotic to take every day to try to ward off future attacks. This worked for a while but then became ineffective which prompted me to look at alternative natural treatments which I had not considered before.

Additionally, most people prefer to use natural methods of treatment for all manner of conditions whenever possible thereby avoiding the use of prescription drugs.

HOW CAN I GET RID OF A UTI EFFECTIVELY BUT NATURALLY?

Implementing the treatments suggested above can help alleviate some of the symptoms. However, in all but the mildest of infections they are rarely enough to instigate a full cure. At best, Urinary Tract Infections are inconvenient and uncomfortable. At worst, they are agonizing and unbearable with sufferers needing a fast effective cure.

There is a cure which begins to work within just 30 minutes and will alleviate some of the pain within a couple of hours. Most people find that they are completely pain-free by the next day. It can be taken alongside other unrelated medication and is completely safe for people of all ages. The cure is a completely natural and tasteless ingredient and you are not required to see your doctor for a prescription.
