At the age of 46, during menopause, your body undergoes significant hormonal changes, which can contribute to a higher susceptibility to urinary tract infections (UTIs). The presence of pus cells and infection percentages in your urine suggests an ongoing bacterial imbalance in the urinary tract. In Ayurveda, a UTI is typically associated with an imbalance in the "Pitta" dosha, particularly due to heat and infection in the urinary system. To address this, Ayurvedic treatment focuses on balancing Pitta and enhancing the strength of the urinary system.
Given your condition, I recommend an integrated approach that includes herbal remedies, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments to promote urinary health. Herbs such as Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), and Vidanga (Embelia ribes) can be very effective in cleansing and toning the kidneys and bladder. Additionally, Cranberry and D-Mannose are known for their supportive role in urinary health, and you can continue using them, but Ayurvedic herbs like Varuna (Crataeva nurvala) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) can be particularly helpful in managing menopause-related urinary concerns, as they help reduce inflammation, support kidney function, and maintain overall balance in the urinary tract.
Diet-wise, it’s important to avoid overly spicy, acidic, or salty foods that can aggravate Pitta. Drinking warm water with a pinch of turmeric and ginger can help flush out toxins and support the healing process. Also, reducing stress through practices like yoga and pranayama can help regulate hormonal fluctuations that might be contributing to your symptoms.
In addition to these, ensure that you are staying hydrated with adequate water intake, and avoid holding urine for long periods. If the infection persists, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further assessment, as untreated UTIs can lead to complications.

It seems ur dealing with a pesky UTI, and at 46, with menopause making its way, things can get a bit more complicated. Sometimes our body doesn't play very fair, right? First, if you haven't yet, make sure to consult your doctor to rule out anything that might need urgent medical attention. Safety first always!
In Ayurveda, we often see UTI as an imbalance in Pitta dosha, kind of like when things heat up more than they should. Since you've tried stuff like soda sachets and cranberry, let's dive into some other simple home remedies. Start with having barley water. Yep, sounds simple, but it's great for flushing out the system. Just boil a tablespoon of barley in like a liter of water, let it cool, and sip throughout your day.
For that persistent issue, you might want to try coriander seed water - you've maybe got this in the kitchen already! Just soak a teaspoon of coriander seeds in plain water overnight; strain it and drink that first thing in the morning. It helps cool down the.body and calm down Pitta.
Diet-wise, keep spicy, fried, and acidic foods to a minimum cause they just feed that fiery dosha imbalance. Instead, go for simple, easily digestible meals like kichadi, and include more bitter gourd and amla.
Hydration? Totally key. Warm water sipped steadily throughout the day keeps everything moving along nicely. Sometimes it's the little things, you know?
As menopause makes its debut, consider routine practices like daily Abhyanga (self-oil massages) with coconut oil. It nurtures Vata, which can soothe the discomfort you're feeling now.
You're navigating quite a ride, and changing routines are never easy. Remember, UTI can cause trouble if left alone, so make sure you're getting the right tests and advice from your healthcare provider.
