Back to UTI Review

UT infections are the second most common illness reported to doctors in the US. More common in women than men, urinary tract infections can become a recurring nightmare.

UTI – A Traditional Medical Approach

 A UTI or Urinary Tract Infection is medically defined as an infection anywhere along the urinary tract – the kidneys, the ureters (tubes that take urine from the kidneys to the bladder) the bladder and the urethra (tube which takes urine from the bladder to the outside). This is recognised by significant bacteria alongside typical symptoms. Most women will suffer from at least one urinary tract infection in a lifetime and for around 20% of women these infections are recurrent and can cause great discomfort and pain on a regular basis. 

The urinary tract is normally sterile. When a UTI occurs it means that it has been invaded by hostile bacteria and they have found conditions suitable for breeding and thriving.  In traditional medicine, once a urinary tract infection has been confirmed and any complications ruled out (e.g., diabetes, suppressed immune system, kidney disease etc.) then oral antibiotics are prescribed.  The type of antibiotic varies depending on the bacteria, however normally the drug targets E-Coli bacteria as this is the most common cause of a UTI. 

However, it is fair to say that some health care professionals believe that antibiotics contribute to recurrent urinary tract infections from increasingly resistant bacteria and with this in mind a significant number of sufferers go down the more holistic, preventative route.
