Who gets urinary tract infections?

Condition analysis:
Simple, uncomplicated urinary tract infections are extremely common in women between the ages of 20 and 50, and are uncommon in young men. Children with UTIs may show different symptoms than adults. People with a higher risk of developing urinary tract infections include:
-- Those with conditions that affect the bladder's nerve supply (including Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries).

-- Elderly men and women.
-- Pregnant women.
-- Women whose mothers had recurrent Urinary Tract Infections.
-- People who have any kind of obstruction blocking the passage of urine (such as a tumor), kidney stone, or an enlarged prostate.
-- Those who use a contraceptive diaphragm or spermicidal agents for contraception.
-- People who use a catheter (a tube placed into the bladder to drain urine from the bladder into a bag outside of the body).
-- Men who engage in anal intercourse, who have HIV infection, or who have never been circumcised.

Instructions:
1. Blueberry Juice
Drink blueberry juice (without adding artificial sweetener) or have some blueberries early in the morning. Blueberry is a good home remedy for UTI in women.

2. Try Aromatherapy
This is also one of the best natural remedies for UTIs. Take some sandalwood oil, bergamot oil, tea tree oil, juniper oil and frankincense, and mix them well. Now, apply this mixture on the areas closer to the bladder. This process should be repeated for about 3-4 days in order to eliminate the symptoms.

3. Try Fruit Juices
You can also have lemon juice, carrot juice or coconut water to eliminate the harmful bacteria from the body. Sugarcane juice also works wonder in order to control and prevent a urinary tract infection.
