Lower Stomach Pain And UTI
One of the most common reasons for experiencing pain while urinating is urinary tract infection, better known as UTI. It can also be due to an infection that is not restricted only to the tract but is present all the way up the bladder. The pain is usually in the form of a burning sensation that you feel while urinating. Along with this, there is another area of the anatomy that hurts and that is the lower abdomen. In such a scenario, it is advisable to consult a physician and get a check-up done immediately. If UTI is not treated completely and on time, it can and usually does lead to severe complications. Depending on the severity of the infection, your physician will be able to recommend the appropriate treatment and course of action to tackle the infection. Along with the treatment, there are a few things that you can do at home to take care of this problem. Urinary tract is the medium through which the body throws out its liquid waste; making it forever susceptible to infection. It is therefore very important that a certain amount of care is taken with respect to personal hygiene to avoid getting infected. For this, make it a point to regularly wash your genital area with warm water. Always make it a point to wash from up to down and never in the reverse direction.
Remedies For UTI
To take care of the existing infection, mix a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to this warm water, along with a little soap to wash the genital area. Hydrogen peroxide works as an antiseptic and that will help to kill the infection faster. Just as the body flushes liquid waste from the system, the infection too can be flushed out of the body. For this, drink at least 9 to 10 liters of water every day. This will help in flushing out the infection considerable. Apart from the water, you can also have fresh fruit juices to help flush out the system. But make sure that the juices are fresh, canned juices contain added sugar which will prove detrimental in this condition. Increase the amount of yogurt that you have everyday. Yogurt contains live bacteria that help in eliminating the infection. If you enjoy having carbonated drinks on a regular basis, avoid having them for some time, as they are known to aggravate the situation. Drink warm milk, with turmeric powder added to it, every night before going to sleep.
