Can Ayurvedic medicine help in treating UTIs?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am an 18-year-old male experiencing urinary problems, including difficulty starting urination and feeling as if some urine is stuck in my urethra, which causes pain. The discomfort persists with any activity, but I feel better after sitting in a chair, as it helps release the last drop of urine. The longer I sit, the better I feel. My ultrasound shows a normal prostate. How can I treat a UTI (urinary tract infection) with Ayurveda?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I have read your query and understand your concern.

If you are looking to treat a urinary tract infection (UTI) with Ayurvedic methods, here are some effective recommendations:

  1. Take syrup Neeri two teaspoons with water twice a day for six weeks.
  2. Take capsule Punarnava one capsule twice a day with water for six weeks.
  3. Drink plenty of fluids to help cleanse your urinary system.
  4. Avoid excessive tea, coffee, and caffeinated drinks.
  5. Do not hold your urine when you feel the urge to pass it.
  6. Walk daily.
  7. Ensure adequate sleep and try to go to bed before midnight.

Following these recommendations regularly should lead to positive results within a month.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
