UTI relief from a surprising source

Do you regularly suffer from the pain, burning and urgency brought on by a urinary tract infection?

UTIs are the second most common infection in the body and prompt 8.3 million doctor visits every year.

To top it off, almost 20 percent of women who experience a UTI will have a recurrence of the infection, and then 30 percent of those women will have a second recurrence.

That means that once you get an infection, you could suffer from it again and again.

But, according to a new study, there’s a simple solution that could stop that cycle of infection…

Good bacteria for the vaginal tract

Scientists followed 100 women who suffered from recurrent UTIs. They had 50 women use a Lactobacillus crispatus (probiotic) vaginal suppository — a small tampon-like device inserted into the vagina — and 50 women use a placebo for five days, and then once a week for 10 weeks.

Here’s what they found…

Although the probiotic did not completely prevent the recurrence of UTIs, it did reduce the number of women who experienced recurrence.

In fact, only 7 of the 50 of the women who received the probiotic had a recurrence of UTIs during the study period, compared with 13 out of 50 who took the placebo. That’s a 27 percent recurrence rate for the placebo versus just 15 percent for the probiotic suppository.

That’s because during a UTI, gut bacteria — like E. coli — take up residence in the vagina and displace good bacteria, called vaginal lactobacilli, which normally live there.

The probiotic suppository overcomes this problem by replenishing the naturally occurring bacteria that live in the vagina and makes it hard for the bad bacteria to cause another infection.

Treat and prevent UTIs without drugs

So, if you suffer from recurring UTIs, using a probiotic suppository could be just what you need to find relief. Luckily, they are easy to find both online and even at the grocery store.

According to the researchers, they can be used, “once a week or less frequently, and it takes, like, two seconds. It’s like putting in a tampon, except much smaller than that. It’s a tiny thing, then you forget about it.”

Other things you can do to get relief from your UTIs include:

• Drinking cranberry juice – Cranberry is considered the age-old UTI prevention trick for good reason. Cranberry juice prevents bacteria from accumulating in and sticking to bladder walls. Drink 2-3 cups of pure cranberry juice daily. Avoid mixtures with a lot of added sugar.
• Taking vitamin C – Studies show that adding Vitamin C supplements to your diet can help acidify urine and reduce your risk of developing an infection by making it difficult for bacteria to survive.
• Going to the bathroom regularly – Studies have found that holding your urine in for a long time allows bacterial to multiply in your urinary tract, resulting in a urinary tract infection so stop holding it.
• Wearing loose-fitting, dry clothing – Loose-fitting clothes and underwear allow airflow that can help keep unnecessary moisture away to keep the urethra dry.

Don’t let recurrent UTIs leave you with fever, back pain, burning and more. Use a vaginal probiotic suppository along with the other tips above to break the cycle of infection and feel good again.
