HOW TO GET RID OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS
These infections are caused by one or more types of bacteria invading the bladder, urethra, or other parts of the urinary tract. Common UTI symptoms include a burning sensation on urinating and frequent urination. Backache and fever may also accompany the infection. Doctors say that at least 50 percent of all women will contract a bladder infection, sooner or later. Here are several expert recommendations for reducing the discomfort of UTI.
1) Drink a lot of water or juices— urologists say you should drink plenty of fluids— water and juices—to flush out the bacteria that are causing the inflammation. While there’s no conclusive evidence, some recent studies suggest that cranberry juice may indeed be an effective treatment for UTI.
2) Avoid coffee, tea and alcohol—these fluids may irritate the urinary tract.
3) Soaking in a hot bath— many women find this a good way to get relief from UTI.
4) Try an anti-inflammation drug— both aspirin and ibuprofen may help to reduce the inflammation in the bladder.
5) Get more vitamin C in your system— some doctors say that large doses of vitamin C can acidify the urine enough to disrupt the growth of bacteria. Before you begin taking vitamin C as a treatment for UTI, you should get your doctor’s approval.
6) Urinate before intercourse— an empty bladder can reduce the likelihood of irritation in the pelvis by allowing more space. It also helps get rid of bacteria that may be present in the vagina.
