Urinary Tract Infections – or UTIs – are an all too common ailment of the urinary system and most women will experience them at some time or another. Because they are such a painful nuisance, UTIs can interfere with how well you sleep and your daily activities. Whilst it’s generally advised that you should always consult a GP, you may end up feeling that antibiotics are the only choice. However, apart from damaging the liver, the human body can build up a resistance to them and this can reduce their effectiveness. Rather than rely on a cure, it is important to focus mainly on the prevention of UTIs. If we learn to take measures against it, cystitis is unlikely to return.

Sometimes, however, certain factors can provoke the growth of bacteria and/or cause obstruction of the urinary pathways. This causes inflammation in the urinary tract, a condition known as cystitis or a UTI. Factors to consider can be age-related; due to pregnancy or menopause, or associated with certain contraceptives. Ailments such as prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland), diabetes and physical changes in the urinary tract can all cause increased bacteria.
