UTI - E Coli & ESBL - #20244

Rajeev Chandak

I was Diagnosed with UTI on 20 February. they started treating with various antibiotics however nothing worked. Initially I had irritation while urination, High Fever sometimes and discoloration of urine (Dark yellowish green) Subsequently urine culture was done and noticed that bacteria was sensitive only to two antibiotics (Meropenem & Fosfomycin) They started treating with Meropenem (1gm BD) through IV after 3 days urine culture was done again and it showed nil bacteria, however on my request they continued Meropenem for 2 more days. Subsequently, my fever stopped but other symptoms remained. i again went for urine culture and found that bacteria still present. I am worried because of reoccurring of this infection and want to get rid totally. currently I am admitted in a hospital and being treated with Meropenem (1gm /TDS) through IV, since 28th march. slight irritation and discoloration of urine still persists. kindly advise

as per your condition it seems to be everythingh normal other than infection,as per my advice firstly you should complete your antibiotic medicine course after it you can start following 1.varunadi vati 1 tab bd 2.gokshur powder 1/2tsf with leukworm water 3.chandraprabha vati 1 tab bd 4.avipattikar powder 1/2 tsf with leukworm water in early morning 5.tab.cystone forte 1 bd ✅ Foods to Include: Coconut water Cooling fruits – Watermelon, pomegranate, grapes, and cucumber. Vegetable juices – Coriander, carrot, and bottle gourd juice help in detoxification. Herbal teas – Cumin, coriander, and fennel (CCF tea) reduce inflammation. add buttermilk after taking lunch ❌ Foods to Avoid: Spicy, sour, and fried foods – Can aggravate Pitta and worsen burning sensation. Caffeinated drinks (tea, coffee, cola) – Can irritate the bladder lining. Artificial sweeteners and sugar – Can worsen bacterial overgrowth. Alcohol & processed foods – Increase acidity and toxicity. Note-drink plenty of water
Recurring urinary tract infections can indeed be frustrating and understandably, you're looking for a solution. With the complexity of your case, particularly with resistant E. coli presenting extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) characteristics, it's important to balance immediate medical care with supportive Ayurvedic practices to help your body recover and build resistance. First and foremost, continue following the medical advice and treatment plan of your healthcare providers, especially since you are admitted and are recieving IV antibiotics. Meanwhile, Ayurveda can offer supplementary support—make sure your healthcare team is aware and in agreement. From an Ayurvedic perspective, recurrent UTIs are often connected to imbalances in Pitta dosha and reduced immune strength. Here are some practical steps that may support your recovery: 1. **Diet**: Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet. Increase intake of cooling, hydrating foods like cucumber, coconut water, and pomegranate. Avoid spicy, sour, and pungent foods as they may aggravate Pitta. 2. **Herbal Support**: Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) is traditionally used for urinary health. Consider using it under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. 3. **Hydration**: Drink plenty of water to help flush the urinary tract. Infuse water with a pinch of cumin and coriander, which may support digestion and cooling. 4. **Lifestyle**: Prioritize rest and minimize stress. Incorporate gentle yoga tailored to your energy levels, and practice deep, calming breathing. These activities can indirectly aid your recovery by balancing your dosha. 5. **Probiotic Foods**: Include naturally fermented foods like homemade yogurt or buttermilk in moderate quantities to support gut health and overall immunity. As such conditions are serious and potentially dangerous, ensuring professional healthcare direction is critical. While Ayurveda offers valuable supportive care, prioritize your immediate safety and well-being through your current treatment.
