Preventing UTIs naturally is a proactive approach to avoiding the discomfort and risks of recurrent urinary tract infections. Instead of relying solely on antibiotics, which can disrupt the delicate balance of good bacteria, natural methods like probiotics, cranberry, and mindful hygiene can help protect your urinary health.
We’ve all heard the saying, “an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.” If you frequently suffer from urinary tract infections (UTIs), it’s an idiom worth paying extra attention to especially if you prefer natural remedies over prescription drugs.
When a UTI strikes, antibiotics are the most common and effective treatment. Unfortunately, they can disrupt your bacterial balance, killing off good bacteria while resistant strains live on. All of this can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI)…which leads to more antibiotics, continuing the vicious cycle.
This brings us back to that idiom: it’s far better to prevent a urinary tract infection than to treat one. Along with general tips like drinking plenty of liquids, wearing breathable underwear, and using common-sense hygiene, there are clinically tested homeopathic solutions you can turn to as well.
The Gut-Bladder Axis: How Probiotics Prevent UTIs Naturally
Scientific research is revealing the importance of having a balanced microbiome in our digestive systems to boost UTI prevention. It’s called the gut-bladder axis, and it is why urologists and other physicians are recommending probiotics (like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus) to keep harmful bacteria like E. coli in check and keep them from reaching the urinary tract.
The Power of Cranberry
Cranberries have long been a popular home remedy for UTIs. While research is ongoing, studies suggest that cranberries can help reduce the risk of infection by making it more difficult for bacteria to adhere to the walls of the urinary tract.
A Holistic Solution Designed for Women
At Doctor's Biome, we’ve conducted our UTI research with women’s unique needs in mind. Why? Because women are far more susceptible to UTIs than men. This heightened risk stems from several factors:
- A woman’s urethra is shorter than a man’s, giving bacteria a shorter path to the bladder.
- The urethral opening is located near sources of bacteria, such as the anus and vagina.
- Poor hygiene and hormonal changes, especially during menopause, can also contribute to UTI risk.
Enter Doctor's Biome Women’s Health, a daily supplement that brings together a synbiotic combination of probiotic and prebiotic solutions.
Each 2 oz. beverage is brimming with active, living bacteria strains in a fiber-rich vegetable and fruit juice blend (packed with 500 mg of organic cranberry powder).
