Urinary Support

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide. It’s estimated that over 150 million people contract UTIs each year.

E. coli is the most common type of bacteria to cause UTIs, although occasionally, other types of infectious bacteria may be implicated....

Anyone can develop a UTI, but women are 30 times more likely to be affected than men. Approximately 40% of women will experience a UTI at some point. A UTI can affect any part of the urinary system, including the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys. However, UITs usually start in the lower urinary tract, bladder, and urethra organs. Common symptoms associated with UTIs include:

• a burning sensation when you urinate
• frequent and intense urges to urinate
• cloudy, dark, or bloody urine
• fever or fatigue
• pain in your pelvis, lower abdomen, or back

UTIs can be treated with antibiotics, but infection recurrence is widespread.

If you suspect that you have a UTI, it’s essential to consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible. What may start as a mild infection can quickly become severe and potentially fatal if left untreated for too long.

Some research suggests that up to 42% of mild and uncomplicated UTIs can be resolved without antibiotics. However, if you are experiencing recurrent UTIs, you may seek natural and alternative solutions to avoid excessive antibiotic exposure. Examples include D-mannose, uva ursi (bearberry leaf), garlic, and cranberry. Read More
