Cystex - Fast relief of frequent, painful, burning urination: How to treat a UTI
If
you suffer from a burning sensation while urinating, or you need
to urinate frequently, you may have a urinary tract infection (UTI).
UTIs can be painful, but, when treated properly, are rarely
a serious health threat.
UTIs are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. At one time or another in their lives, 1 out of 4 women develop a urinary tract infection. Women tend to get UTIs more often than men, because in women sexual intercourse can result in bacteria being pushed into the urethra, the urinary canal; and women have a shorter urethra than men. Wiping from back to front after bowel movements i.e., towards the urethra can also push bacteria towards the urinary tract.
Preventing Urinary Tract Infections's
- Drink plenty of liquid and urinate frequently.
- Urination helps to flush out bacteria.
- Wipe from front to back after a bowel movement away from the urethra.
- Take showers rather than baths.
- Urinate after intercourse.
How to treat UTIs

- Drink cranberry juice. It may help relieve mild UTI.

Cystex also contains sodium salicylate, which safely and effectively relieves pain, inflammation and fever.
