This one if for my fellow women – sorry guys! Part 1

This one if for my fellow women – sorry guys! Part 1 7 May 2020

Around half of all women will get cystitis or some other unirary tract infection (UTI) at somepoint in their life.  The female anatomy makes women more susceptible.  Having had cystitis many years ago I can vouch for the pain.  As some women are prone to suffer multiple episodes, I wanted to share some natural options to help them stop coming back. Cranberry Juice 300-500ml of unsweetened cranberry juice or 400mg of concentrated cranberry extract twice a day appears to be sucessful is preventing or reducing the number of urinary tract infections (UTI).  However, there is limited evidence that cranberry can stop a UTI once you have it. Acupuncture Acupuncture was put to the test against sham acupuncture (the needles go into the wrong place or inserted in the wrong way) or no treatment for UTI prevention.  After six months 85% of those who had genuine acupuncture sufferend no UTIs compared with 58% of those of the sham group and 36% of the untreated group.  In another study UTI-prone women receiving acupuncture twice a week had half the rate of infections compared to those receiving no treatment.   References https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27251185 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9612877 https://europepmc.org/abstract/med/12721123
