Women who suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections certainly know how unpleasant and painful this condition is. What do you do first when you so-called “pee attack” catches you? Do you go to the pharmacy and buy cranberry-based medicines and other chemical products? Before you do that again next time, try these three remedies. We believe they will help you.
Why do infections occur?
In women, urinary tract infections occur as a result of sexual intercourse, soaps, and various contraceptive methods. These factors can promote bacterial growth. The same applies to insufficient personal hygiene. However, this is not the only reason; there are certainly more, but these are the most common. We should not forget men either — they can also encounter urinary tract infections that affect the urethra, prostate, and even the kidneys, and this can be due to various reasons, for example regular urine retention, diabetes, neurogenic dysfunction, vesicoureteral reflux, and genetic factors.
Treatment
Treatment of a urinary tract infection depends on the extent. If women, and men as well, suffer from infections regularly, they recognize early on that something is happening with their urinary tract and immediately start their tried-and-true treatment and thus avoid taking antibiotics. However, if a urinary tract infection is neglected, you will have to see a doctor who will prescribe antibiotic treatment. But this approach is certainly problematic, because antibiotics can do more harm than good in the body. You may also, for some reason, be unable to take antibiotics or be resistant to them. If that is the case, try several home remedies that can reliably fight urinary tract inflammation. Remember: if this method does not work within three days, consult a doctor.
Onion
Onion has long been a traditional remedy for many ailments — from coughs to urinary tract infections. You will need one medium onion and two glasses of water. Chop the onion into small cubes and bring the water with the onion to a boil, then turn it off immediately. Pour the liquid into a glass and let it rest until the next day. Drink one glass on an empty stomach.
Blueberries
Blueberries are a gift of nature; they cleanse the blood and replenish important vitamins. They can even help cleanse the urinary tract. Prepare one glass of blueberries, half a lemon, and one glass of water. Wash the lemon and blueberries, then squeeze the lemon over the blueberries. Blend all the ingredients into a smoothie and drink twice daily until the symptoms disappear.
