Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, can be extremely painful. They can create a burning feeling when urinating and can lead to bleeding and even pelvic pain. They are more common in women but can also be present in men.
If you’re dealing with a UTI, here are a few tips to help you address your symptoms (and avoid future infections, as well).
Contact Your Doctor
The first thing you should do if you suspect you have a UTI is seek medical help. Your doctor should be able to give you a professional diagnosis and recommend potential solutions.
Use CRANBYCYST MAX
While there are pharmaceutical solutions to UTIs, there are also natural options. One of these is PLAMECA’s CRANBYCYST MAX. Our unique supplement delivers a high concentration of cranberry and bearberry, both of which are known to impact the health of the urinary tract.
CRANBYCYST consists of a well-rounded formula that considers various ways to address UTIs. Along with cranberry and bearberry, it includes Java tea (also called orthosiphon), which is a known way to treat UTIs at home. It increases urine flow and has the potential to help resolve an infection faster.
Vitamin C is also present. Along with protecting cells from oxidative stress, it is thought that the supplement may reduce UTIs by making urine more acidic.
Those with an existing UTI can take two capsules of CRANBYCYST MAX per day, one in the morning and one in the evening, for maximum natural support.
Potential Solutions for Recurring UTIs
Once you’ve cleared up your UTI, consider how you can prevent another one from occurring. Start with simple activities. For those with a vagina, this includes practicing good hygiene by wiping front to back after a bowel movement.
If you use feminine products during a menstrual cycle, you also want to stay on top of changing your products regularly. Don’t let them sit and potentially allow bacteria to grow.
Don’t hold your pee, either. Urinate frequently as a way to stay clean. This is especially important after having sex.
Intercourse can also be a culprit apart from urination after the fact. Birth control measures are particularly important to watch out for. Diaphragms and both non lubricated and spermicidal condoms have the potential to create a UTI.
Staying hydrated is really important, too. Water has long been touted as an effective way to flush your system, clean out bacteria, and prevent UTIs from forming. Until recently, this was primarily backed by rumor and tradition. However, a 2020 study investigated the phenomenon and confirmed its validity.
Finally, remember that you can continue to take CRANBYCYST MAX at half doses (one pill per day) as a safe, side-effect-free measure to prevent UTIs.
Overcoming and Avoiding UTIs
Urinary tract infections are a painful and unpleasant experience. If you have one, it’s important to take steps immediately to address the issue.
If UTIs are a recurring concern, it’s also a good idea to take steps to minimize the possibility of their cropping up frequently. Fortunately, from supplements to simple self-care steps, there are many ways you can improve your odds and ensure that the likelihood of developing a UTI is minimal.
