Bladder infection, also known as urinary tract infection
(UTI), has become increasingly hard to treat because of the emerging resistance
to current antibiotics. In this case, it is important to opt for a natural UTI treatment and, most
importantly, its prevention.
How common
are Bladder Infections?
In the United States alone, bladder infection affect over 13
million people each year and over 150 million worldwide.
This condition happens when the bacteria normally present in the
gastrointestinal tract make their way into the urinary system. Bladder
infections are more common in women than in men (30:1 female to male ratio).
What
are the symptoms of bladder infection?
The most common signs of urinary tract infection include:
1.
Burning sensation or pain when you urinate
2.
Urge to urinate more frequently (only to pass on
a very little urine each time)
3.
Cloudy, foul-smelling
and sometimes bloody urine
4.
Pain in the lower abdomen (right above the
bladder)
If these symptoms are accompanied by fever, back pain, and nausea, the infection may have
progressed to the kidneys. As this can be serious, kidney infection should be
taken seriously and treated promptly.
How to
diagnose bladder infection?
The only way to diagnose a bladder infection is checking a
urine sample. A commonly performed in
the doctor's office or in lab is known as urinary
analysis. It just takes a few minutes. A dipstick is placed in the urine
sample and up to ten different substances can be detected.
A doctor may also wait a few hours for the lab to run a microscopic urinalysis (a drop of urine
is examined under a microscope) to help in the decision whether or not to start
an antibiotic treatment while the urine culture is running.
With no doubt, the most accurate test to determine for sure
whether or not an infection is present is urine
culture. The lab puts the urine sample in an incubator. If any bacteria are
in the sample, they will multiply and show up. However, it takes 24 to 48 hours
for the bacteria to grow enough to be detected.
If only one type of bacteria grows in the culture, the lab
will expose the bacteria to a variety of antibiotics to see to which ones the
bacteria are sensitive. This usually takes one day after the culture is
positive. It helps to decide which antibiotic is best for the infection.
Pharmacological
vs. non-drug bladder infection treatments
A typical medical treatment for urinary tract infection inevitably
means prescription drugs. It has been proven, however, that standard medical
procedures for UTI are only temporary and often prove to be minimally
effective.
Although taking antibiotics can be at times a wise decision
and even life-saving, the natural, non-pharmacological approach to urinary
tract infection compared to standard medical treatments is clearly a superior,
and most importantly, safer and without side effects option.
Uribiotic
Formula, formulated with care by a master formulator and
manufactured according to the highest standards, has been known to help deal with a bladder
infection safely, effectively, and with no side effects.
