An estimated 250 million people worldwide are affected by Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs)…
Digital Desk: Many millions worldwide experience urinary tract infections (UTIs) with an especially high incidence rate among female patients. The treatment of occasional UTIs usually succeeds but persistent or recurrent infections affecting quality of life are classified as two active infections during six months or three active infections during one year. Research studies now show that persistent UTIs directly influence urinary tract structures and have ways that can impact gut health.
Dr. Anuj Arora a doctor specializing in Urology at Max Super Speciality Hospital Noida describes how the human intestinal tract contains billions of microscopic organisms called the gut microbiome. The interrelated microorganisms that inhabit digestion systems support vital bodily processes and whole-body wellness. Doctors consider dysbiosis a gastrointestinal state where an imbalance between "good" and "bad" gut bacteria leads to urinary tract complications.
Scientific research shows pathogenic bacteria which include Escherichia coli as a common UTI-causing agent normally starts in the gut before traveling through the body to the urinary tract and causing infection. The presence of healthy bacterial populations protects the body from dangerous microbial growth that leads to UTI infections.
Better maintenance of gut health represents a promising approach to preventing additional UTI attacks. A combination of dietary fiber with fermented foods helps people rebuild their beneficial gut bacteria populations. Studies have proven that taking probiotics like Lactobacillus helps to decrease infection-causing bacteria but also strengthens immune function. Your risk of developing UTIs decreases when you maintain adequate water intake and practice proper hygiene practices.
When suffering from persistent UTIs patients should seek medical advice to investigate whether their urinary conditions relate to gut health issues.
