Very disagreeable and often disabling, the urinary
discomfort concerns almost half of the women and are intimately related to the
female anatomy. Discover our tips for taking the right action!
Resulting from the proximity between the anus and the
external orifice of the urethra, urinary discomfort is caused by the
proliferation of bacteria of intestinal origin of the Escherichia coli
type (85% - 95% of the cases) and by
their fixation on the walls of the bladder and the urethra. In some cases, they
may also affect the ureter and kidneys.
AN EFFECTIVE DEFENSE SYSTEM
Made up of 96% water, urine, free of microorganisms,
contains salts and organic components. Urinary flow as well as the acid character
of urine are two major assets to preserve the urinary system of pathogens.
In addition, the very smooth surface of the urethra and the
shape of the ureters prevent the bacteria from rising, while the bladder wall
contains essential immune cells for permanent protection. Nevertheless,
bacteria sometimes reach the urethra and then the bladder, responsible for
urinary discomfort.
FACTORS THAT PROMOTE...
Many factors can cause urinary discomfort:
- Sexual intercourse, favoring the transmission of bacteria.
- Inadequate, inadequate or inadequate intimate hygiene conducive to the spread of bacteria.
- Clothes too tight or synthetic causing a phenomenon of "maceration".
- Pregnancy, the pressure exerted by the baby.
- A slowed transit.
- Insufficient water consumption.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTIC SIGNS?
The urinary problems are characterized by:
- A pressure / gravity in the lower abdomen.
- A frequent urge to urinate in small quantities.
- A burning sensation when urinating.
- Troubled urine with unpleasant odors.
In case of spread to the kidneys, other signs (fever,
vomiting ...) may appear.
WHAT ARE THE DAILY GESTURES TO AVOID URINARY DISCOMFORT?
At first glance it is recommended to drink regularly and in
sufficient quantity to promote urinary flow and thus prevent the fixation of
bacteria on the walls of the urinary system. Other simple gestures prevent the
appearance of urinary discomfort:
- Do not hold back for too long his urge to urinate.
- Take steps to promote regular intestinal transit.
- Wipe the intimate area back and forth.
- Urinate immediately after sexual intercourse.
- Have a regular intimate hygiene and not aggressive.
- Avoid wearing too tight or synthetic clothing.
Specific dietary supplementation may also be of particular
interest to people who are prone to urinary discomfort or recurrence. For
example, the dry extract of bearberry is an asset particularly recognized to
contribute to the proper functioning of the urinary tract.
