Is cranberry juice effective against urinary tract infections?

More and more little girls are suffering from urinary tract infections at an early age. As soon as urination starts to be painful, with or without burning, a urinary tract infection should be suspected. These disorders are not uncommon and are becoming more and more common, especially in young girls. Children, like their elders, suffer from kidney-related pathology when bacteria invade the kidney and germs are found in urinalysis.

Thanks to a simple medical sample, it will be possible to define the type of disorder that is affecting urination. They are then of two types:

  • lower urinary bladder infections, more commonly known as cystitis, which are the most common.
  • Upper urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis.

Let's focus in this article on urinary tract infections such as cystitis. These are the result of an Escherichia Coli type bacterial invasion - present mainly in the intestine - which infects the bladder either through the urethra or via the genitals. Indeed, the woman has an anatomy of proximity between the vagina, the urinary tract and the anus, therefore urinary infections of this type are much more frequent in the little girl (or woman) than in the little boy or the adult man.

We will then quickly understand that an intestinal imbalance can quickly lead to urinary tract infections such as cystitis.

 

What are the first signs of cystitis?

An intense need to urinate frequently is felt and urination is painful, ranging from burning to very painful tingling. Also, bleeding may appear, indicating that the problem needs to be addressed. Sometimes fever can also accompany the pain, but this is a sign that the infection has moved higher up in the kidneys. They then require a particular treatment because the renal insufficiency is not far and quite dangerous.

 

How to treat cystitis naturally?

  1. The first step when suffering from this type of discomfort is to relieve the pain. In fact, since urination is so painful, it is advisable to soak a compress in a mixture of warm water and organic cider vinegar. This ideal duo will have a calming and rebalancing action on the acidity of the painful area.
  2. The second tip is to drink more and more, much more than usual, between 2 and 4 liters of water per day. This is to restore a normal and adapted ph.
  3. Then we invite you to avoid any sexual intercourse that could increase the symptoms because semen is known to reduce the acidity of the vagina.
  4. Given the problem of the 'terrain', we recommend taking probiotic vaginal ova to cleanse the vaginal flora, but not only. Indeed, it would be interesting to do a probiotic cure for the intestines.
  5. Finally, adjusting your diet will also be key to any natural recovery.

Was the cranberry juice really effective?

In terms of natural healing, the famous cranberry is famous but beware! Not the cranberry juice found in most organic stores or supermarkets. Indeed, this juice that anyone can take without indication is usually high in sugar because pure cranberry juice is very difficult to drink naturally. From then on, industrialists understood that in order to sell, they had to add flavor enhancers, of which sugar is one. However, sugar is acidifying and promotes urinary tract infections. And you'd have to drink a lot of it in a single day. Unthinkable!

Let's prefer cranberry concentrate capsules which are much more effective and healthy.
