The urinary tract is usually quite resistant to bacterial imbalances because the low pH of urine, presence of urea and constant urine flow helps to retard the build-up of potentially harmful bacteria.
Chronic recurring bladder imbalances are generally problematic to treat. It is always important to consult your health professional as determining the underlying cause is important for a successful outcome.
Incomplete emptying of the bladder (age-related), immobility, inadequate fluid intake and bowel incontinence may also contribute to the development of imbalances.
Most natural therapies target this build-up of harmful bacteria and support the body's removal of them.
