pus in urine - #18122
Doctor, I recently had a urine test done because I was experiencing some discomfort while urinating, and the results showed the presence of pus in urine. I was really worried because I don’t know what this means exactly. My doctor said it could be due to an infection, but he didn’t explain much about what’s causing it or how serious it is. A few weeks ago, I started noticing some pain and burning when urinating, and there was a strange smell in my urine. At first, I thought it was dehydration, so I started drinking more water, but the symptoms didn’t go away. When I saw the test report mentioning pus in urine, I started searching online, and now I’m even more confused. Some sources say it’s related to a urinary tract infection (UTI), while others say it could be a kidney issue. How does Ayurveda view this condition? I also read that Ayurveda classifies urinary problems under Mutraghata or Mutrakrichra, and they are often linked to excess Pitta and Kapha dosha. If that’s true, what kind of diet should I follow to reduce inflammation and clear the infection naturally? Are there Ayurvedic herbs that can help treat pus in urine without needing antibiotics? I’ve heard that Gokshura and Punarnava are good for urinary health—should I try those? Another thing I’m worried about is whether this could turn into something more serious if left untreated. Should I get additional tests done to check for kidney health? I don’t want to rely too much on antibiotics, so I’d love to understand what natural options Ayurveda offers. I’d really appreciate your guidance on how to treat pus in urine effectively and prevent it from coming back.

UTI medicine - #19525
For the past few days, I’ve been dealing with a burning sensation while urinating, along with an urge to go to the bathroom all the time. At first, I thought I just wasn’t drinking enough water, but then it got worse – now there’s this dull pain in my lower abdomen, and my urine has a strong smell. I haven’t had a UTI before, so I don’t really know what to expect, but I looked up the symptoms, and it definitely seems like one. I went to a doctor, and they suggested antibiotics, but I don’t want to take them unless absolutely necessary. I’ve heard that UTIs can sometimes be treated naturally, and I wanted to ask if there’s an effective UTI medicine in Ayurveda that can clear the infection without strong medications. Does Ayurveda have any herbal remedies that work as fast as antibiotics? Or do I need to take them for a longer time for proper healing? I’ve already started drinking coconut water and taking cranberry juice because I read that they help with UTIs. But I want to know if there are specific Ayurvedic herbs or kadhas that act as UTI medicine. Also, is there a way to prevent this from happening again? I don’t usually have any health issues, but I did notice that this started after I held my urine for too long while traveling last week. Could that be the cause? Another concern is, if this doesn’t get better with natural remedies, how long should I wait before considering antibiotics? I don’t want the infection to spread to my kidneys, but I also want to give Ayurveda a fair chance. Are there any signs that I should look out for to know if the infection is getting worse? Would love to get some advice on the best Ayurvedic UTI medicine, dietary changes, and lifestyle tips to heal faster and avoid this in the future. Also, does Ayurveda suggest any cooling foods or treatments to reduce the burning sensation immediately?
