What is Urinary Tract Infection and how is it caused?
Urinary Tract Infection or UTI, as it is commonly known, is an infection caused by microbial organisms in your body. These infections can happen anywhere across your urinary tract. This consists of your kidneys, urethra, bladder and ureters. Most infections take place in the lower part of urinary tract, which includes your bladder and urethra.
UTIs occur when bacteria, fungi and in rare cases, viruses, enter the urinary tract and begin to multiply. There are in-built defense mechanisms in your urinary system to fight such microbial attacks. But when your body fails to defend itself from the micro organisms, they thrive into a full-blown infection inside your urinary tract.
Let us now look at the types, symptoms and causes of UTI and why homeopathy is the ultimate answer to urinary tract infection treatment .
