Common Treatments for Urinary Tract Infections You Should Know

Probiotics

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that keep your urinary tract free from harmful bacteria and promote good digestion. Lactobacilli is a special strain of probiotics, which can help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. They work by generating hydrogen peroxide in the urine, which has strong antibacterial properties, reducing urine pH to make conditions less favorable for bacteria, and preventing harmful microorganisms from penetrating cells in the urinary tract. You can take supplements or consume products that contain probiotics, such as sauerkraut, kefir, or yogurt. [6]
