Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a surprisingly common health problem and may
be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. The bacteria E.coli causes over
80% of all UTI’s. E coli is a normal resident of the intestinal flora that can pass
through the peritoneum into the urinary tract and bladder. Urine found in the
bladder should be sterile. UTIs are more common in women with 1 to 3 %
prevalence in non-pregnant women. Prevalence increases with age and in the
elderly yearly infections are not uncommon. Infections are more common in
women because of anatomical differences. In women, the urethra is shorter
and is less resistant to bacterial infection; the urethral opening is also much closer
to the anus, which increases the likelihood of contamination and infection.
Diabetics are also much more likely to suffer from UTIs as the presence of glucose
in the urine constitutes a good growth medium for bacteria. Common findings

UTIs is antibiotic therapy. As for all bacterial infections,

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon ait; 10:1) 600 mg antibiotic resistance is becoming a concern in the treatment
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 30 mg of UTIs. With the overuse of antibiotics, organisms once
sensitive to a certain treatment are increasingly more
resistant, making treatment more difficult and more dangerous. Furthermore, many women have
recurring UTI without having any of the predisposing factors. In repeating infections, bacteria can be
identified but it is not always understood why the infection recurs.
Urinary tract infection prevention
Those suffering from chronic recurring UTIs can take precautions to reduce the frequency of infections.
Proper hydration is essential because fluids dilute the bacteria in the urine. Probiotics are also helpful as
they promote the presence of healthy bacteria in the intestines, where most UTI bacteria originate. Also,
because most UTI are treated with antibiotics, which destroy the intestinal flora, replenishing intestinal
bacteria may help to prevent recurrence. Irritants to the bladder such as caffeine, alcohol, and spices
should be avoided.
In recent years cranberries have received much attention because of their beneficial properties with
respect to urinary tract health. Research supports their use in the treatment of bacterial infections caused
by E. coli, the organism behind most urinary infections.
Characteristics of cranberries
Cranberries are a favorite food of cranes, hence their name. Native Americans were the first to use the
berries as a food source. They have been used in the treatment of UTI for many years and are now
regarded as a non-pharmaceutical approach for the treatment and prevention of simple UTI infections.
Cranberries are effective in the treatment of the majority of UTI, however, not all UTIs are caused by
E.coli, the bacteria against which cranberries have demonstrated efficacy.
Cranberries have many other health benefits. Like other berries, cranberries contain an abundance of
antioxidants and were shown to be extremely helpful at reducing oxidative stress.
