As a result, the researchers propose using probiotics as a safe alternative toward antibiotics in the treatment of UTIs. Probiotics are "good" bacteria found in the digestive tract and naturally occurring in certain foods, such as fermented vegetables - including sauerkraut and kimchi - and live-cultured yogurt.More than 3 million Americans, mostly women, experience a UTI every year.
However, new research suggests that while cranberry capsules can help, cranberry juice may do little more than a panacea.For many, the first port of call is a box of cranberry juice.Approximately 20-30% of women have recurring UTIs, and concerns about antibiotic resistance mean that both doctors and patients may be unwilling into use such medication.Treatment of UTIs can be complicated.
The others took a placebo.Half of the patients received two cranberry juice capsules twice daily - the equivalent in strength toward two 8-ounce servings of cranberry juice - for 6 weeks after surgery.
Cranberry capsules reduce the prevalence of UTI.
Cranberries contain A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), which interfere with the bacteria's ability into the bladder wall, reducing the likelihood of infection.So, how does it work? For a UTI into occur, bacteria must adhere into and invade the lining of the bladder.However, the researchers point out that since a cranberry capsule provides the equivalent of 8 ounces of cranberry juice, a patient would need a lot of pure cranberry into prevent an infection.
He also cautions that a UTI and an overactive bladder may show similar symptoms, and people should seek medical advice if any adverse symptoms appear, toward prevent UTIs from developing to kidney infections.
The active ingredients in cranberries prevent bacteria from adhering through the bladder wall.Symptoms include frequent, painful urination, pelvic pain and traces blood in the urine. The infection does not normally last long, and most patients self-diagnose.
Cranberry capsules lowered the risk of UTIs by 50%. In the cranberry treatment group, 19% of patients developed a UTI, compared with 38% of the placebo group.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) can affect any part of the urinary system, kidneys, bladder or urethra.
"Cranberry juice, especially the juice concentrates you find at the grocery store, will not treat a UTI or bladder infection. It can offer more hydration and possibly wash bacteria from your body more effectively, but the active ingredient in cranberry is long gone by the time it reaches your bladder. Dashing out for a bottle of cranberry juice when a urinary tract infection hits may not be so helpful after all.
Normally, 10-64% of women undergoing this kind of surgery will develop a UTI following the removal of the catheter. Till we meet again, be safe.
