How Can Frequent Urinary Tract Infection Be Treated?

I have frequent urinary tract infections. A few years ago I was taken to the emergency room with a temp of 106.7 after passing out in the kitchen. I was septic. I am diabetic, drink lots of water and other fluids. What can you suggest for me as a home remedy?

Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that Urinary tract infections are more common, more severe, and carry worse outcomes in patients with diabetes & oftenly caused by resistant pathogens. Poor immune system, poor metabolic control, and incomplete bladder emptying, fungal infection may all contribute to the enhanced risk of urinary tract infections.

The treatment for your UTI will depend on what type of infection it is. But You can prevent UTI by practicing good Hygiene techniques like

- Wiping front to back is essential

- Go to the bathroom and empty your bladder immediately after sexual intercourse.

- Every time you empty your bladder, try to make sure it is fully empty.

- Keep your diabetes under the best possible control.

Hope to have been Helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
