Homeopathic Medicine for Urinary Tract Infection or UTI
What is a Urinary Tract Infection?
Urinary Tract Infection or UTI, is basically an infection involving any part of the urinary system, it can be in your kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra. But most of the time, infection involves your bladder and urethra i.e., your lower urinary tract.
...Causes of Urinary Tract Infection:
- Mostly UTI is caused due to bacteria.
- New or frequent change of sexual partners
- Diabetes
- Overuse of Oral Contraceptive pills and Antibiotics, etc.
Male vs Female involvement:
Women are more at risk of developing UTIs due to shorter length of urethra and extended capacity to hold urine.
Urinary Tract Infections are not very common amongst males due to the length of urethra. Most of the times, it is due to some underlying cause like obstruction to the normal flow or reflux of urine back to kidneys.
Symptoms may include:
- Frequent desire to urinate.
- Burning during and after urination
- Pain in lower abdomen
- Pain in lower back.
- Sensation that some urine is still left in bladder
- In some cases, blood is also passed along with urine.
Treatment and Management:
In case you are suffering from UTI, you need to drink plenty of water, so that you can flush out the bacteria from your body. But since it’s an infection you need to see a doctor and take medicines for sure.
Homoeopathy offers treatment for Urinary Tract Infection by a wide range of medicines.
Homoeopathy and Urinary Tract Infection
In Homoeopathy, Urinary disorders are viewed not just as problems in your Kidneys or Bladder but as a mirror of your body’s functioning.
Homoeopathy works differently from the other system of medicines, because it increases the natural immunity of body thus helping the body to fight efficiently with infections and become free from diseases.
Consultation from a Professional Homoeopathic Physician is very important for permanent cure of your problem, because homoeopathy works on the principle of “INDIVIDUALITY” - meaning every individual is different and requires different medicine.
