Symptoms and natural treatment options for UTI
As soon as the early warning signs of a urinary tract infection are noticed, starting with the natural treatment options is the most sensible thing to do. Early warning signs of a urinary tract infection include: Acute pain, unusual discomfort, or a burning sensation while passing urine. The instinct to pass urine with urgency even after the bladder has been noticeably emptied. Discoloration of urine from the usual transparent, pale yellow color to a cloudy tinge. Dark, cola-colored urine, or passage of urine accompanied by blood in some cases. Fishy/foul-smelling urine, especially when infected by the bacteria that causes a urinary tract infection. Fever or chills, a sign of any infection in the body. Nausea or vomiting accompanied by tenderness or pain in the lower back or abdominal region. Rectal pain in men and pelvic pain in women, when the infection has moved from the lower urinary tract to the upper urinary tract. Natural treatment options to be followed when the urinary tract infection is diagnosed early in the lower tract: Increase fluid intake Being adequately hydrated keeps men and women protected to a significant extent from urinary tract infections. Gulping plenty of clean drinking water throughout the day, and urinating often helps expel the infection-causing bacteria from the body.
