Urinary Tract & Bladder Infections 

The Urinary Tract Infection is second only to Respiratory infection as the most common type of infection. These kind of infections are much more common in girls and women than in boys and men younger than 50 years of age. For this reason  is not well understood, but the anatomy differences between the genders (a shorter urethra in women) might be partially responsible. Since these infection are more common than we want to believe, understanding their symptoms and some preventive steps might be helpful.

A Urinary Tract Infection

Commonly termed a UTI is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary tract. These symptoms may include frequent feeling and/or need to urinate, pain during urination, and cloudy urine. The main causal agent is Escherichia coli. Although urine contains a variety of fluids, salts, and waste products, it does not usually have bacteria in it. When bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and multiply in the urine, they may cause a UTI.

The most common type of UTI

This  acute Cystitis is often referred to as a bladder infection. An infection found in the upper urinary tract or kidney is known as pyelonephritis, and is potentially more serious. Although  urinary tract infections can be uncomfortable, they usually can be easily treated with a short course of antibiotics. with all no significant difference between the classes of antibiotics.

Prevention  and Remedies

- http://cranberryinstitute.org/health/urinarytract.htm – Due to a natural anti-adhesion substance in cranberries, they can help ward off urinary tract and bladder infections. Emerging research is that drinking cranberry juice may also have an antiviral effect on intestinal viruses. http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/news/printNewsBis.asp?id=60496

About 40% of women and 12% of men have a urinary tract infection at some time in their life.

Todays Health Comments

Taking preventive health measures, drinking cranberry juice or eating the berries may be very beneficial for those whoe are prone to UTI. Although men are less suseptable to these infections, it can happen. I use to spend endless hours on the road traveling and became a victim to this occasionally. I come to recognize the value of this little remedy. It’s important recognize the symptoms and address them before they become serious. Good health come from taking preventive measures.
