A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary system.
The urinary tract includes the kidneys and ureters (the upper urinary tract, connecting the kidney to the bladder) or the bladder and urethra (the lower urinary tract, which empties the bladder to the outside).
Most infections involve the lower urinary tract - the bladder and urethra. Bladder inflammation is also known as cystitis and the medical term for inflammation of the urethra is urethritis.
The UTI symptoms and signs may vary to age, sex and location of the infection in the urinary tract.
Risk factors for developing urinary tract infection include:
The homeopathic treatment for recurrent UTIs should be designed for each patient individually because each case is very different from that of another person with UTI.
In conventional medicine antibiotics are commonly used to treat recurrent urinary tract infections but they are not always the answer. Antibiotics are often effective in acute UTIs but their long-term use in chronic UTIs rarely prevents recurrences and is usually followed by development of fungal infections and antibiotic resistance.
Homeopathic medicines boost the immune system and enhance resistance to infection. They are effective with no side effects and are safe for children and pregnant women.
Homeopathy also provides a particularly effective treatment for interstitial cystitis, although there is no cure in conventional medicine
There are two types of homeopathic medicines for UTIs - medicines for quick relief of symptoms and constitutional medicines to prevent recurrences.
