Any home remedies/natural ways to prevent UTI?

Question

I suffer from chronic UTI's almost monthly, and will all the meds im on to prevent them (ditropan XL, detrol LA, and Bactrim) along with drinking plenty of water, not drinking soda or teas and taking cranberry supplements. What are some other natural or home remedies to try to help me out? Also has anyone ever tried clear tract or tried d-mannose? Thanks!

Answer 1

Utis.

Sounds like you're doing it all right.

Cranbury juice..drinking it several times a day is known to help.

Also if you are sexually active...CLEANLINESS..

Both you and your partner..both before and after..

Lastly..when on toilet..always wipe front to back..Alot of docs agree that poor toilet habits..can cause frequency of UTi's...

Wear cotton underwear or any underwear that has cotton crotch area..

These all seem to assist..

Good luck,

Answer 2

The two natural antibiotics colloidal silver and garlic oil will both help for prevention if you take them every day.

Answer 3

Increase your vit C and take an herbal immune system booster like echinacea with goldenseal or astragalus when you feel a UTI coming on. Rest. Definitely keep up the cranberry intake.

Echinacea and astragalus cannot be taken for more than a week or else they become ineffective for your system.

Answer 4

ba zheng san, a chinese formula blend.  3 grams three times a day for avg size person.  d-mannose is also worth a try.  Evidentally the sugar does not easily absorb, passes through the body and binds to the bacteria on the bladder walls causing you to uriinate them out.  What ever you choose drink a lot of water to flush and take probiotics in between

Answer 5

I have heard good reports about d-mannose. I know one medical doctor who has juvenile diabetes & it helps w/ protein in urine for him & has (he believes) extended his life.

Here are some herbs known to be urinary antiseptics: Angelica root, Bearberry (Uva Ursi), Celery seed, Goldenrod, Juniper, Meadowsweet (also soothing & pain relieving), Saw Palmetto, Yarrow. Try making any one of these into a tea and drinking one or more cups per day. I would lean toward Angelica root, which is a digestive, or Meadowsweet, which contains salycin (like aspirin). Saw Palmetto, Juniper & Bearberry are all somewhat harsh and only for short term use.

Years ago when I was taking birth control pills I also had frequent UTIs. Got some relief by a surgeon enlarging the opening of my bladder. The problem didn't completely stop until I stopped taking the pill.
