Urinary tract infections are a serious health problem affecting millions of people each year.
Infections of the urinary tract are the second most common type of infection in the body. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for about 8.3 million doctor visits each year.* Women are especially prone to UTIs for reasons that are not yet well understood. One woman in five develops a UTI during her lifetime. UTIs in men are not as common as in women but can be very serious when they do occur.

What Causes Urinary Tract Infections?
The most common cause of UTIs are bacteria from the bowel that live on the skin near the rectum or in the vagina, which can spread and enter the urinary tract through the urethra. Once these bacteria enter the urethra, they travel upward, causing infection in the bladder and sometimes other parts of the urinary tract.
Sexual intercourse is a common cause of urinary tract infections because the female anatomy can make women more prone to urinary tract infections. During sexual activity, bacteria in the vaginal area are sometimes massaged into the urethra.
What is the Treatment? Â
The doctor will usually prescribe oral antibiotics for a UTI. In older women, UTIs are more likely to cause kidney infections. Therefore, women over 50 may need to take antibiotics for a longer time, or may need to be given antibiotics by injection.
Prevention of Urinary tract infections
You can avoid dealing with urinary tracts infections by following these preventative measures:
1. Drink lots of water. Water will flush out your system, preventing the growth of bacteria.
2. Urinate when you have to. Ignoring the call of nature can cause your bladder to stretch and weaken. This can prevent the complete emptying of your bladder, leading to infection.
3. Urinate after sex. Any bacteria that was transmitted during intercourse will be washed away.
4. Wipe from front to back. This will prevent bacteria from your rectum being passed to your urethra.
5. Avoid wearing tight clothing, bathing suits, or nylon panties for extended periods. They can trap moisture and cause bacteria to collect.
6. Don't use moisturizers, douches, or heavily perfumed soaps around your urethra. This can cause irritation and may trap bacteria.
Home Remedy for Urinary Tract Infection
The best way to treat UTI is to keep the E coli out of the urinary tract. Here are some home cures for urinary tract infection:
1. One of the best natural way to treat urinary tract infection is to drink lots of water. Drinking fluids will help you to urinate more often and flush out the bacteria. It is recommended to have 6 - 8 glasses of water per day.
2. Daily intake of Vitamin C in the diet will increase the acidity content of the urine and prevent bacterial growth. If you are suffering from UTI, intake of 1000mg of Vitamin C everyday is quite effective in preventing the recurring infections.
3. Cranberry juice is rich in Vitamin C and Quinolic acid, both of them are helpful in curing UTI by preventing the bacteria from anchoring onto the bladder walls. Drinking 12 to 24 oz of cranberry juice for few days can be highly effective.
4. Echinacea is a herb that helps in fighting the UTI infection. Drinking Echinacea tea or consuming high-quality 300mg Echinacea capsules or tablets once per day can be extremely beneficial.
5. Apple cider vinegar contains high concentration of enzymes and potassium which help in preventing the bacterial growth. Most of the UTI patients are found to be deficient in nutritious enzymes and potassium; hence, apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural antibiotic to flush out the infection.
6. For the cure and prevention, it is strongly recommended to have foods rich in fiber content along with water. This will help in naturally flushing the impurities along with bacteria from the body.
