Top 9 Homeopathic medicines for UTI in women

Urine infection or Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) can trouble a lot of women. Though men also get urine infections, women are four times more at risk of acquiring UTI than men. Urine infection happens when bacteria gain entry into the urinary tract via urethra and start multiplying in the urinary bladder. The most common bacteria that tends to cause urine infection is Escherichia coli (E.coli). Urinary tract infection can occur in any part of urinary tract. When infection occurs in the urethra and the bladder, it is termed as lower urinary tract infection. Infection involving the ureters and the kidneys is referred to as upper urinary tract infection.

Why are women more at risk of urine infection? First among many reasons is that urethral opening in the females is very close to the anus. Due to this, bacteria around the anus easily travel to the urethra. Second is the urethra in women is short as compared to men. So the bacteria have to travel less distance to get into the bladder from the urethra. Next, use of diaphragms (for birth control) or spermicidal (contraceptive substances that destroy sperms) agents also increases risk. Sexual activity can also be the cause in young sexually active women. Some women are predisposed to frequent urine infection initially after marriage. This is termed honeymoon cystitis. Besides these women around menopause also are more predisposed to get urine infection. The reason is decrease in estrogen levels that leads to certain changes in the urinary tract that heightens UTI risk. The symptoms include pain/ burning sensation during urination, frequent urge to urinate, urgency to pass urine, pelvic pain, strong smell from urine and cloudy or bloody urine. In case of upper tract UTI symptoms include fever, chills, pain in the upper back and sides, nausea and vomiting.
