UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)

It's more common in females than males .

Symptoms

Burning urine
Frequency is more
Lower abdominal pain
Feels like incomplete tendency
Fever
Lethargy
Nausea ( vomiting tendency)

Why females are more prone to this ?

First cause is the anatomical cause which I am avoiding to write here.

The second common cause is the E.coli Bacteria , will not elaborate here .

Pregnancy or menopause also is a cause .

Then the posture of urination for females .Females come in contact with the germs very soon compare to males .

Females have a tendency to stop the urine for long time ,that may be due to stopping herself from using public toilet or the work pressure.

Next comes the water intake quantity.Insufficient fluid intake can also cause the infection.

So my request to all the females to follow the basic steps

Flush the toilet before using the public toilet

Keep your part dry after every time you pass urine .

Wash after every urination ,back to front .

Pass the urine as soon as you get the urge for it .

Drink a sufficient quantity of water .

Ps: Many points may differ and miss ,may not go according to your health .

The commonest problem in females is Painful menstruation, Irregular periods and many more .Females aged between 35 to 40 plus should also follow this to avoid early menopause.If your period lasts only for 2 days ,then also this drink is for you .

1/ 2 inch Ginger ( Adrak)
2 pinch Asafoetida ( Hing)
1/2 spoon Ajwain
Let it steam till bubbles come out and drink it 5 days before your period date for 5 days , in an empty stomach.

The above mentioned ingredients will help to

Reduce the menstrual cramps
Reduce body swelling if it is there
Helps in good flow by shrinking the uterus muscles.
Helps in thinning the blood resulting in good flow .

The better the flow the more comfortable you are .So make the drink and lead a cramp free period .

P.S. Points may differ and results may vary . Kindly consider.

People often tell me that I am so rude ,so I just felt like clearing them .

I am not extra sugar coated for your better health , being a doc how can I put you into health hazards .My extra sweetness may cause you diabetes,so I avoid being sweet .I hope the doubt is clear .

Thank you 😊
