Homoeopathic Management of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Dr. Christian Fredrich Samuel Hahnemann ,the father of Homoeopathy has extended its efficacy in treating the diseases from urinary tract infection also. The challenging aspect in the life of  postpartum women or pregnant women is overcoming from either upper urinary tract infection ie., acute pyelonephritis or lower urinary tract infection like cystitis.

Urinary tract infection is defined as the presence of at least one hundred thousand organisms per milliliter of urine in an asymptomatic patient or more than hundred organisms per milliliter of urine with pyuria in a symptomatic patient.
The fact says that about 2 - 4% women develop urinary tract infection in the postpartum period. Bacteria like normal bowel flora including E.coli and Klevsiella, Proteus and Enterobacter species. The major factor which aids to the causation of postpartum UTI is the hypotonicity in bladder and lower urinary tract following immediately after delivery which results in residual urine and reflex. The other concurrent factors include birth trauma, cauterization, conduction anesthesia, frequent pelvic examinations, etc.

The postpartum women complaining UTI would have increased frequency and urgency of urination, urinary retention, pain and burning during urination, retro public or supra pubic pain after urination, fever with chills are rigors and abdominal pains.
