How to be safe from frequent UTIs - #19953
Ayesha Saleem
The reports are clear and the doctors have no explanation on why I get UTIs so frequently. It started somewhere in my teenage years and I am usually on antibiotics at least once a year because of this recurring issue. I've gotten tested for everything, yet the UTI still comes again.

Ayesha, I understand how frustrating it must be to deal with frequent UTIs, especially when medical reports show no clear cause. Since this has been happening since your teenage years, we need to focus on preventing recurrence rather than just treating it when it happens.
If want I can guide you what measures can be taken to prevent
Let me know
Meanwhile you can start on
Chandraprabha vati 1 tab twice daily after food with warm water
Chandanasava 2 tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food

Hi Ayesha,
Can you tell me if you experience any other symptoms, such as pain during urination, lower abdominal discomfort, or increased frequency of urination, even when not infected? How is your overall digestive health and stress levels?
In Ayurveda, frequent UTIs are often linked to imbalances in Pitta and Vata. You could try herbs like Gokshura, Punarnava, and Varuna to support urinary tract health and reduce inflammation. Drinking herbal teas made with Coriander or Cumin can help flush out toxins and improve kidney and bladder function. Maintaining hydration, avoiding acidic foods, and managing stress through practices like yoga and meditation may also help in preventing recurring infections.

It's perplexing when something keeps recurring despite all tests being clear. In Ayurveda, we aim to understand underlying imbalances that may not be addressed by conventional methods. UTIs could be linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat in the body, potentially causing inflammation or infection when aggravated.
First, consider your diet as it's central in Ayurveda. Avoid spindy, sour, and salty foods known to increase Pitta. Instead, lean towards a diet rich in cooling foods such as cucumbers, coriander, and fennel. Watermelon is also excellent, particularly during summer, for its hydrating and cooling properties. Drink plenty of water, preferably warm, to aid digestion and detoxification.
Include herbs like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), which support urinary health. You can consume them in powder form with warm water twice a day. These herbs help flush toxins out and balance the urinary tract.
Maintain a consistent bathroom routine—don’t hold urine for extended periods and ensure you're urinating well after intimacy as well. It might seem minor, but this can significantly influence urinary health.
Another thing: please, be mindful of your hygiene. Opt for breathable, cotton undergarments and ensure your genital area stays dry and clean, since moisture can create a breeding ground for bacteria.
Evaluating emotional stressors is also vital. Stress can trigger dosha imbalances, interestingly affecting your system. Practicing yoga or meditation may be beneficial in balancing Vata and Pitta, helping keep emotions steady.
Finally, ensure the digestive fire, or Agni, is robust. A weak digestive system might play a part in these recurring infections. Consider Triphala before bed—it’s a traditional combination of three fruits beneficial for digestion and detox.
If symptoms escalate suddenly or include fever, it’s an indicator to seek immediate medical attention. Ayurveda offers wonderful supportive strategies, but it's crucial to merge these with modern medicine, especially in acute or recurring conditions. Always follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition closely.
