I keep gieeting uti's/kidney infections.iv had an ultasound done but nothng was found. how do i get rid of dem

please help. im looking for possible home remidies. this would be my 4th or 5th infection in 6 months.

its something you might have already tried but try drinkin barley water. it cleans out your kidneys.

They say Cranberry juice is good for UTI's !.

stay away from fizzy drinks for a while

i pretty much had this going on from the age of 8 until 17, all the doctor kept doing was giving me anti-biotics for a week and sending me for ultrtasounds and ivu's etc. the last time i was given antibiotics for 9 months, and touch wood i havent had an infection in 6 years, i dont know about any home remedies, i think you should go back to your doctor.

Drink cranberry juice regularly, and do NOT ever take baths. Only showers.

you can check for uti by a routine urinalysis. usually, the ultrasound can only detect kidney stones, and not uti.

you can prevent and treat uti by drinking coconut juice always. cocounut makes you pee a lot, this constant action then takes the bacteria away. i once had uti, and coconut cured it. i know drink 1.5Liters of coconut juice every saturday to prevent it.

if you are a female, you will always be prone to uti, simply because of your short urethra, one way to prevent uti is to change underwear regularly to prevent bacterial buildup. also, avoid sitting in hot/heated chairs. hot climate and enviroments makes the bacteria wild and increases their production.

don't ever hold your pee. regularly pee to remove the bacteria.

you can always choose to use anti-bacterials, however, be warned that you have to take this for 7 days, or whatever the doctor tells you. if the doctor tells you to take the meds for a week, then a week it should be. if by the 3rd day you feel better, don't stop the regimen as this is likely to bring back the bacteria, only this time, they are more resistant to the medicine. you probably just felt better because of the decrease in bacteria, not because the bacteria is gone.

I went through the exact same thing! I finally went to a urologist and they performed a cystoscopy. Turns out that my uterter was spasming(opening and closing) This caused everything like Bacteria! to back up. They opened it for me and I have not had one since. I am a true believer in alternative medicine and I tried everything under the sun. In this case, I needed this procedure to cure it. I was having problems over the course of one year winding up in the hospital because it spread to my kidneys.. No one in the hospital ever suggested a cystoscope exam. That figures! Good luck and keep an open mind to asking about this procedure.

I have a defect on one of my kidneys that causes me to be very susceptible to infections. The urologist I saw gave me a list of things to do to decrease my chances, and they work well for me. First of all, get rid of all the synthetic undies, and wear nothing but cotton, all cotton- not the nylon with the cotton liner in the crotch. Wash all your undies with either bleach or the oxy-clean type powder. Buy and use only white toilet paper, unbleached if you can find it, but at least white. No pretty colors of designs, because the dye can irritate tissues. When you wear pantyhose, you need to split the crotch, so heat and moisture do not stay in close contact with the body. Do not wear hose under pants, wear knee highs. Do not wear very tight fitting pants, or at least not very often. Do not wear any undies to bed at night, and go breezy at every opportunity. Do not use any powders, lotions or potions in the vicinity. Bubble baths are only a occasional indulgence, and bath oil soaks should not be more than once a week. Use plain soap, not the deoderant stuff- at least not there. Drink cranberry juice in plain or combo form at least one glass every day. When you go to the bathroom, be careful to wipe from front to back, not back to front. Use unscented baby wipes or the flushable wet wipes to clean afterwards, and pat dry. You should also drink enough liquids to be going to the bathroom at least every 2-3 hours, otherwise the urine can sit long enough in the bladder to cause trouble. Answer the call of nature when it comes, and never try to hold on "just a little longer" unless there really is no other choice. And watch the color and odor of the urine. It should be pale straw yellow with very little odor. If it gets darker, or smells strongly of ammonia, it is concentrated and can be a sign of pending trouble. If you notice this, immediately start drinking until your back teeth float. Cranberry juice cocktail works best, but water is next best. Lay off the coffee and tea at that point until things are back to normal.
None of this is perfect, but it did help me to break the vicious cycle you describe. I have not had an infection (knock on wood) in almost 2 years now- but I have also suffered like you are now. This is what has worked best for me. I hope it helps you as well.

Drink at least 7litres of water a day & try drinking cramberry juice as well.Good luck

More than 3 a year-you should see a urologist. Cranberry juice is good, but really most of us don't get enough plain water. I am immunosupressed and have had my share of UTIs. I tend to get the UTIs if get dehydrated or end up holding my bladder too long. Also you should pee before and after sex to wash away the bacteria.

just drink plenty of water. Also don't put anything other than water in your bath. Cotton pants too.
