Urinary Bladder Infection:
UTI Prevention Health Tips

General Suggestions

Bladder infections occur when microbes, mainly bacteria, get through the urethra into the bladder.

This can happen by the way you wipe after going to the bathroom, or through sex. Bladder infections can also be caused by a blockage of urine flow, which may occur in pregnant women or in men with an enlarged prostate.

• Practice good personal hygiene by keeping the genital area clean - less than careful hygiene, especially after developing loose stools or diarrhea is one of the most frequent causes of recurrent bladder infections.

• Urinate when you feel the need - do not resist the urge to urinate!

• Take showers instead of tub baths.

• Use only white unscented and, preferably, unbleached toilet paper - you may react to the dyes and chemicals in the other toilet papers.

  PLEASE NOTE: unbleached toilet paper would be even better to reduce any possible chlorine exposure and the environmental contamination that comes from the bleaching process.

• Cleanse the genital area before sexual intercourse - wash the vulva, penis, hands and/or dildo with soap and water prior to vaginal penetration; this will reduce the risk of introducing bowel bacteria into the vagina and urethra. If condoms are used during anal contact, be sure to change condoms.

• Avoid sexual intercourse 'from behind.'

Women In Particular

If you're a woman:

• Wipe from front to back after you go to the bathroom - it helps prevent bacteria around the anus from entering the vagina or urethra.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: It is very easy to contaminate one's fingers when wiping oneself with toilet paper, and if those contaminated fingers come anywhere close to the opening of the urethra, there is a high likelihood of infection, especially in predisposed individuals.

• Change sexual positions - choose the position that causes less friction on the urethra.

• Lubricate adequatly during sexual intercourse - it will decrease urethral irritation.

• Urinate after sexual intercourse - do a "flush technique" within ten (10) minutes, if possible; if not, drink 10-12 ounces of water immediately after intercourse. It will cause you to urinate later and help flush the bacteria out.

• Avoid wet or tight clothing - wear loose pants.

• Don't wear a wet bathing suit for a long time.

• Avoid nylon underwear and Spandex clothing - they promote moistness and irritation of the meatus (urethral opening); wear cotton underwear instead, it is less irritating and provides more ventilation than nylon.

• Use pantyhose with cotton crotches.

• Avoid chemicals such as feminine hygiene sprays, bubble baths, strong soaps and douches - they may irritate the urethra.

Men In Particular

If you're a man:

• Practice safe sex - use condoms to prevent infections, especially transmitted through sexual contact.

• Always wash the penis gently pulling back the foreskin when bathing or taking shower.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: It is only true that an uncircumcised male has a higher chance of bladder infections during the first year of life, this risk goes away after age one; therefore, it is no longer true that circumcising males leads to a significant decrease in the risk of bladder infections.

Bladder Infection: Common Risk Factors

There is a number of factors that increase the risk of developing urinary tract infection - some women are more prone to getting an infection than others:

Being Female
The female urethra is shorter than the male's, allowing bacteria quick access to the bladder and this probably accounts for why women are more likely to develop urinary tract infection. In addition, a woman's urethral opening is near sources of bacteria from the anus and vagina.

Being Pregnant
Pregnant women, especially in the late stages of pregnancy, seem no more prone to an infection than other women; however, about 5 to 7 percent of pregnant women develop a urinary infection, probably due to previous infections before pregnancy, high sexual activity and diabetes, and also due to hormonal changes and shifts in the position of the urinary tract during pregnancy (the enlarged uterus continuously presses on the bladder).

PLEASE NOTE: Women who experience an untreated urinary tract infection during their third trimester of pregnancy are at greater risk of delivering a child who suffers from mental retardation or developmental delay.

Poor Hygiene
Genitals must be kept dry and clean! Less than careful hygiene, especially after developing loose stools or diarrhea, is one of the most frequent causes of repeated urinary tract infections.

It is very easy to contaminate one's fingers when wiping oneself with toilet paper, and if those contaminated fingers come anywhere close to the opening of the urethra, there is a high likelihood of infection in predisposed individuals.

Only white unscented toilet paper should be used as many women react to the dyes and chemicals in the other toilet papers.

Unbleached toilet paper would be even better to reduce

• any possible chlorine exposure and
• the environmental contamination that comes from the bleaching process.

Sexual Position
Some women find that they are liable to develop an infection if, during sexual intercourse, their partner enters their vagina 'from behind'. This is simply because in this position it is more likely that bacteria from around the anus may be pushed forward towards the urethra.

Diaphragm Use
Some women who use a diaphram are likely to develop a urinary tract infection; also women whose partners use a condom with spermicidal foam also tend to have growth of E. coli bacteria in the vagina, which may enter the urethra.

Frequent Intercourse: Honeymoon Cystitis
In some women, high sexual activity may traumatize the urethra, disrupting its lining and making it more susceptible to infection. This is frequently called honeymoon cystitis.

The Elderly
If you are an older adult you are at high risk for developing bladder infection (cystitis), with the incidence being as high as 33 out of 100 people.

What may place the elderly at increased risk for developing bladder infection, is

• lack of adequate fluids
• bowel incontinence
• decreased mobility or immobility, or
• placement in a nursing home (a stress factor).

Postmenopausal
In postmenopausal women usually vaginal tissues start to break down due to a decrease in estrogen levels; therefore, in general, the rate of urinary tract infections gradually increases with age.

Urinary Incontinence
Urinary tract infection also can be one of the risk factors for a urinary bladder problem such as incontinence - leakage of urine that interferes with some of your normal activities, often causing embarrassment or discomfort in social situations.

Incontinence, however, is not a disease, but rather a symptom of another condition involving the urinary system, such as acute or frequent bladder infections.

A wide range of medical conditions, and even aging, can cause or contribute to incontinence. Some causes, such as urinary tract infections, may be temporary. Others can be long-lasting, such as prostate enlargement (BPH) blocking the urethra or - as an effect of prostate surgery (prostatectomy).

Urinary incontinence can have a varying impact on peoples lives, in many cases it can be very distressing and embarrassing, often preventing one living a normal life. This embarrassment prevents many people seeking help, this is a pity as there are many things that can be done to help.

Failure to Completely Empty the Bladder
This failure is associated with such conditions, mainly obstructions, as:

• kidney stones
• tumor
• urethral strictures, or
• neurological diseases.
• Diabetes
  Diabetics are at a higher risk of a urinary tract infection due to the unfavourable metabolic changes, such as elevated blood sugar levels, which suppress their immune system.

  Urinary Tubes, Stents, or Catheters
  An obstruction in the urinary tract can be due to:

  • nephrostomy tubes (a tube inserted into the kidney to drain urine to the abdominal surface), or
  • ureteric stents (a wire tube fitted in the urethra to keep the passage open) all tend to increase the likelihood of infection, or
  • urinary catheters (a small tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine) - a usual cause of urinary tract infection due to bacteria on the catheter, especially in the elderly or those who lose bladder control, or are unconscious, or are critically ill (due to nervous system disorder).

    Continue reading this article...

  PLEASE NOTE: Catheterization in males is more difficult and uncomfortable than in females because of the longer urethra.

  The Diabetic Bladder
  Diabetics are at a higher risk of a urinary tract infection due to the unfavourable metabolic changes, especially the elevated blood sugar levels, which suppress their immune system.

  The incidence of the urologic complications of diabetes, such as autonomic neuropathy affecting the urinary bladder, ranges from 27 percent to 85 percent.

  In addition to autonomic bladder dysfunction in diabetes, there is an increased incidence of asymptomatic and symptomatic bacteria, which can progress to kidney infection and kidney damage.

  This increase in bladder infection in diabetes has been attributed to numerous etiologies, such as:

  • incomplete bladder emptying
  • changes in bladder cell wall components, and
  • immune dysfunctions in the urothelial cells.

  However, there are very few published research studies which address either the clinical aspects of bladder dysfunction in the diabetics or the basic molecular and cellular aspects of the diabetic bladder.

  The Neurogenic Bladder: Paraplegia (SCI)
  Neurological conditions like paraplegia, a spinal cord injury, also called spinal cord impairment (SCI), usually result in neurogenic bladder - an unstable or atomic bladder, with no muscle tone.

  Men with spinal cord injuries have lost, partial or complete, control over their bladder and sphincter due to the compromised nerve receptors that are responsible for:

  • contracting and relaxing the muscles of the bladder and the sphincter, and
  • registering feelings of pressure or release.

  Due to this condition, most paraplegics are exposed to the regular use of catheters and drugs. (The more traditional cap and bag, with continual drainage, is falling from favor even though it is a safer system).

  However, catheters often increase the risk of urinary tract injuries and repeated bladder infections - a common problem in people with spinal cord impairment.

  Exposed to repeated or long-term courses of antibiotics, in time, they also develop resistance to drugs what makes maintaining healthy urinary tract for them even more difficult.

  However, contrary to a popular belief and common medical practice, men with spinal cord injuries or spinal cord impairment (1) do NOT have to suffer from chronic bladder infections and (2) do NOT have to be exposed to vicious antibiotics.

  Childhood Urinary Tract Infections
  A history of urinary tract infections or bladder infections in childhodd also poses a risk for recurrences in adult life.

  Congenital Abnormality: Vesico-Ureteric Reflux
  Abnormal structure of the bladder can be something that you are born with or that develops later in life. Vesico-ureteric reflux is a congenital abnormality of the urinary tract that some children are born with, in which urine flows back into the ureters or kidney during urination.

  Suppressed Immune System
  Urinary tract infections occur when the immune system is supressed or compromised due to chronic illness, such a diabetes, AIDS, and cancer.

  Blood Type
  People with certain blood types attract bacteria which attach to cells that line the urinary tract, causing recurrent urinary tract infections.

Urinary Bladder Infection: Most Common Causes

In most cases, about 80 percent in adults, urinary tract infection is caused by a variety of pathogens - infectious bacteria - normally present in the intestines, especially in the rectum (colon).

Nearly all infections of the lower urinary tract and bladder are caused by a few strains of E. coli bacteria, called uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

A variety of other Enterobacteriaceae and Gram-positive pathogens, includes:

• Staphylococcus saprophyticus - 5 to 15 per cent cases of urinary tract infections
• Group B streptococcus - bacteria that can be found in the digestive tract, urinary tract, and genital area of adults
• Chlamydia trachomatis - one of the most common cuases of bladder infection, especially urethritis
• Mycoplasma hominis
• Klebsiella pneumoniae
• Enterococcus faecalis
• Proteus mirabilis, or
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

They tend to remain limited to the urethra and reproductive system and, unlike E. coli, they are sexually transmitted.

Other possible causes of urinary tract infections include:

• yeast infection, especially if taking antibiotics for repeated infections
• allergies - mainly from foods
• stress and anxiety
• heavy metal toxicity, and
• poor kidney function.

Chlamydia Bacterial Infection

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. In women, the chlamydia organism infects cells of the lining of

• the cervix
• rectum, and
• eye.

Persons with chlamydia infections often have no symptoms. Consequently, they may transmit the infection to other people without knowing it. However, when the symptoms do occur, their type and severity will depend on the site of the infection and the person's response to it.

Women who do have symptoms of chlamydia infection may notice:

• an increased vaginal discharge
• irritation of the area around the vagina, or
• burning pain with urination.

To diagnose chlamydia, a special test must be done by a health professional.

Chlamydia infection is easily treated with an antibiotic medication. However, if it is not detected and treated, chlamydia infection can lead to complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, a condition that signals the infection has spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes.

Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease include:

• lower abdominal pain
• painful intercourse
• irregular periods
• spotting and
• fever.

This serious condition requires prompt medical attention.

In pregnant women, chlamydia infection can be passed on to their newborn children, where it can cause:

• eye infections and
• pneumonia.

E. Coli Bacterial Infection

Various harmless strains of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are normally present in the body - but they do not belong in the urinary tract.

The bacteria, however, have multiple little hairs called cilia that function like little feet that allow them to climb from the skin around the vagina, up the urinary tube, into the bladder.

If UPEC (E. coli) get into the bladder or the urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder), the body has ways of fighting them off - including the obvious methods of simply flushing them out with the urine. But these bacteria have evolved ways of anchoring themselves to the cells of the urinary tract.

The invading E. coli bacteria take advantage of receptors naturally found on the cells of the mucosal lining of the urinary tract. Receptors are like molecular "docking bays" for substances which the cells need for their normal growth and development.

Like pirates in an old movie, E. coli use "grappling hooks", called type I pili, to first hook on to these receptors, and then to invade the cell.

(These pathogenic "grappling hooks" are composed of long, fibrous chains of a molecular "glue" called adhesin).

Once inside the cell, E. coli can live and reproduce in safety, shielded from many of the body's defensive immune responses.

In fact, they are so sophisticated that when the body detects that cells have been infected and activates the cell suicide program to destroy the bacteria, UPEC can actually flee the dying host cell before it is flushed out, and look for new cells to invade!

Antibiotic Treatments: E. Coli Survival Rate

Uropathogenic E. coli return in as many as 30 percent of women apparently cured by antibiotics!

Bacteria E. coli are able to survive antibiotic treatment for bladder infections by reverting to an inactive state.

Within several days of antibiotic treatment, the number of bacteria reproducing drop to zero. Not all the bacteria are killed, though.

About 3 percent of the bacteria may be still present in a dormant state after treatment with ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and about 7 percent may linger after treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim/Septra).

Even after a month of antibiotic exposure, about 10 million of the original 1 billion bacteria may remain.

Antibiotic treatment does not successfully kill all the bacteria participating in the infection and may, in fact, encourage many of the bacteria to persist in a resting state.

Therefore, current standard drug treatments for bladder infections are not adequate and this phenomenon may account for many of the repeat urinary tract infections.

E. Coli: New Antibiotic-Resistant Strain

A newly identified, antibiotic-resistant strain of a common E. coli bacterium is contributing to an increase in relatively hard-to-treat bladder infections in women.

The analyzed strain, resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, a popular two-drug combination, shows a pattern of resistance to multiple antibiotics and has genetic characteristics called "virulence factors" that increase its ability to infect the urinary tract.

Not much is known about how new strains of bacteria that infect the urinary tract arise and spread. There is also no evidence that the new strain of E. coli is causing any increase in kidney infections or other serious complications.

It could be that this organism has been around forever and has now acquired resistance to several antibiotics. It could have been introduced, perhaps through contaminated food.

E. Coli-Induced Repeated Bladder Infections

Most likely these are women over the age of 55 years or between the ages of 25 and 29.

Those women are likely to continue having urinary tract infecions, who have had three or more a year. Therefore, they can get another infection within 18 months of the last one, or even more requently.

One possible factor behind recurrent urinary tract infection may be the ability of bacteria to attach to cells lining the urinary tract.

The symptoms sometimes can be caused by chemical irritation such as bath additives and washing powders; they may disappear if toiletries and washing powder are changed.

Usually, the latest infection stems from a strain or type of bacteria that is different from the infection before it, indicating a separate infection.

Even when several urinary tract infections in a row are due to E. coli, slight differences in the bacteria indicate distinct infections.

However, some women have recurrent symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infection - but without infection being present. This condition is not serious but can be troublesome.

Chronic or recurrent urinary tract infections should be treated thoroughly because of the chance of kidney infection (pyelonephritis).

Prostate Infection (Prostatitis)

Severe symptoms of bladder infections can be caused by acute bacterial prostatitis, characterized by an inflammation of the prostate gland.

Also repeated bladder infections can be associated with long-lasting or chronic prostatitis (CP) - the most common form of the disease, usually caused by detriemental bacteria.

Symptoms of prostatis are similar to those of bladder infection.

	Prostatitis, often described as an infection of the prostate gland (a gland near the bottom of the bladder, close to the urethra), can also be an inflammation with no sign of any infection. This non-contagious disease, however, affects 50 percent of men of all ages during their lifetimes.

Unfortunately, low-grade prostatitis is often missed on a doctor visit. Therefore, you may experience no symptoms or symptoms so sudden and severe that you have to seek emergency medical care.

However, if you are approaching age 50, you should also look for any of the following:

• a decrease in the force of your urine stream
• difficulty in beginning urination
• dribbling after you urinate, or a feeling that your bladder isn't totally empty after you finish urinating.

These could also be symptoms of an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) causing the buildup of urine in the bladder, which increases the likelihood that pathogenic bacteria will grow and trigger an infection.

The Urinary Defense Systems Against Bacteria

Infection does not always occur when bacteria are introduced into the bladder because the urinary system is structured in a way that helps ward off infection.

A number of defense systems - natural safeguards - that protect the urinary tract against infection-causing bacteria includes:

• the flow of urine which functions as an antiseptic, helping to wash potentially harmful bacteria out of the body during normal urination. (Urine is normally sterile, that is, free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi!)
• the ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder) and bladder which are structurally designed to prevent urine from backing up toward the kidneys
• the immune defenses in both sexes continuously fights bacteria and other harmful micro-invaders. In addition, immune system defenses and antibacterial substances in the mucous lining of the bladder eliminate many organisms
• the vagina which is colonized - in normal fertile women - by lactobacilli, beneficial micro-organisms that maintain a highly acidic environment (low pH). Acid is hostile to other bacteria. Lactobacilli also produce hydrogen peroxide, which helps eliminate bacteria and reduces the ability of E. coli - the major bacterial culprit in urinary tract infections - to adhere to vaginal cells
• the bladder lining- when bacteria infect the cells that line the bladder they, literally, sacrifice themselves and self-destruct (a process called apoptosis). In so doing, they fall away from the lining, carrying the bacteria with them. This process, sugested by some interesting research, eliminates about 90% of the E. coli.
• a possible natural antibiotic - identified by some researchers - called human beta-defensin-1 (HBD-1) which fights E. coli within the female urinary and reproductive tracts.

Cautions and Contraindications

Sexual System:
UTI Uribiotic Formula should not be consumed during pregnancy as it can cause contractions of the uterus (due to hydroquinone via arbutin present in Uva Ursi/Bearberry).

Immune System:
UTI Uribiotic Unisex Formula should not be used by prostate cancer patients (due to the presence of Forskolin). Although Forskolin possesses numerous therapeutic properties, it influences androgen receptors in a way that may stimulate the proliferation of existing cancer cells in the prostate gland.

Digestive System:
UTI Uribiotic Formula should not be used by peptic ulcers patients (due to the presence of forskolin).

Cardiovascular System:
UTI Uribiotic Formula should not be consumed by hypertension (high blood pressure) patients (due to the presence of nettle root as it further raises blood pressure).

Pharmaceutical Drugs:
UTI Uribiotic Formula should not be used concomitantly with warfarin (due to the presence of garlic which may potentiate the anticoagulant effects of warfarin and thereby may cause bleeding).

Reference: Fugh-Berman, A. Herb-drug interactions. Lancet. 355(9198):134-138, 2000. [Concurrent use of herbs may mimic, magnify, or oppose the effect of drugs. Plausible cases of herb-drug interactions include bleeding when warfarin is combined with garlic. Many reports of herb-drug interactions are sketchy and lack laboratory analysis of suspect preparations. Health-care practitioners should caution patients against mixing herbs and pharmaceutical drugs.]

PLEASE NOTE: When acute nephritis (kidney infection) is present - accompanied by high fever along with sudden retention of urine (a painful urge to pass urine but the inability to do so) - have your condition assessed immediately by a health care practitioner.

Do Not Stop!

Although symptoms-free, please do NOT stop taking the UTI Uribiotic Formula and continue to use it until the botle is empty (up to 10 days).

If you are prone to repeated (chronic) bladder-kidney infections, for the first few months, keep an extra bottle of the UTI Uribiotic Formula on hand, and use it immediately at the first signs of infection for the minimum of three (3) consecutive days.

In time, however, you will notice that the frequency of your bladder-kidney infections begins to seize, making the further use of the UTI Uribiotic Formula - with some possible exceptions - unnecessary.

UTI Uribiotic Formula: Therapeutic and Preventive Intake

In general, suggested intake of the UTI Uribiotic Formula depends on the degree of UTI and its diagnosis, and can be described as follows (with possible variations from person to person): I. Mild UTI: In case of first signs of discomfort (slight burning sensation when urinating, frequent urination and/or inability to empty bladder completely) you need to take: Two (2) capsules three (4) times daily; therefore, for full benefits, at least one (1) bottle of the UTI Uribiotic Formula is needed (an initial 10-day therapeutic intake). II. Moderate to Severe UTI: In case persistent signs of UTI (painful burning sensation when urinating, frequent urination at night and/or inability to empty bladder completely) you need to take: Two (2) capsules three (3) times daily; therefore, for full benefits, two (2) bottles of the UTI Uribiotic Formula are needed (an extended 20-day therapeutic and prophylactic intake). III. Chronic UTIs: In case of recurrent, repeated UTIs (all the above symptoms along with the need and dependence on antibiotics) it is necessary to take: Three (3) capsules three (3) times daily; therefore, for full benefits, three (3) bottles of the UTI Uribiotic Formula are needed (an intensive 20-day therapeutic and prophylactic intake) SUGGESTED INTAKE: Take the capsules throughout the day in between meals (on an empty stomach), preferably before 6 pm, each time with one (1) glass of purified, lukewarm water. PLEASE NOTE: After all symptoms have disappeared, in order to restore the urinary tract’s normal pH and, thus, prevent recurring UTIs, taking one (1) capsule of the UTI Uribiotic Formula three (3) times daily for at least ten (10) consecutive days is highly recommended. ADDTIONAL RECOMMENDATION: In order to fully exert the therapeutic, protective and preventive (prophylactic) effects of the UTI Uribiotic Formula, it might be taken along with probiotics, especially Lactobacillus GG Plus. CAUTIONS and CONTRAINDICATIONS: As opposed to taking probiotics, the UTI Uribiotic Formula should not be used by pregnant women, peptic ulcers sufferers, prostate cancer and hypertention (high blood pressure) patients. It also should not be used concomitantly with warfarin (blood thinner). If an acute nephritis (kidney infection) is suspected, your condition must be assessed by a healthcare specialist.

Bladder Infections in Paraplegia (SCI)

Neurological conditions like paraplegia, a spinal cord injury, also called spinal cord impairment (SCI), usually result in a neurogenic bladder - an unstable or atonic bladder (with no muscle tone).

People with spinal cord injuries have lost, partial or complete, control over their bladder and sphincter due to the compromised nerve receptors that are responsible for:

• contracting and relaxing the muscles of the bladder and the sphincter, and
• registering feelings of pressure or release.

Due to this condition, most paraplegics are exposed to the regular use of catheters and drugs. (The more traditional cap and bag, with continual drainage, is falling from favor even though it is a safer system).

However, catheters often increase the risk of the urinary tract injuries and repeated bladder infections - a common problem in people with spinal cord impairment.

Exposed to repeated or long-term courses of antibiotics, in time, they also develop resistance to drugs what makes maintaining healthy urinary tract for them even more difficult.

Good News: UTI Uribiotic Unisex Formula

Contrary to a popular belief and common medical practice, people with spinal cord injuries or spinal cord impairment do NOT have to:

• suffer from chronic bladder-kidney infections and
• be exposed to vicious antibiotics.

It is our clinical experience that paraplegics, expecially those who use catheters, can successfully remedy, and most importantly, prevent bladder-kidney infections with the help of our proprietary UTI Uribiotic Unisex Formula.

Therefore, you, or someone you know or hold dear, who suffers from spinal cord injury, should give this superb herbal blend serious consideration.

Our Clients Write to Us: Testimonial

December 14, 2007: As a paraplegic for almost 14 years, I was almost constantly on antibiotics due to chronic bladder infection. However, being afraid of possible side effects, for many years I was reluctant to consider any natural alternatives. I was afraid of getting diarrhea or constipation. These are the worst - a real disaster! But after successful experience with D-Mannose, I started looking for other natural means to solve my problem. And I was pleasantly surprised by lack of any adverse reactions to URIBIOTIC, which I introduced to my system very cautiously. Two weeks later, my urine culture showed NO E. coli. Burning went away in a few days. I'm pleased to report such great results. Barret D. Minnesota

If Your Infection Persists...

On rare occasions the UTI Uribiotic Unisex Formula alone does not seem to be enough, especially when the infection has already spread into the entire urinary tract, the following remedies should be be considered:

• D-Mannose Powder PLUS
• Pure Essential Oil of Wild Oregano.

ATTENTION: Male Adults with BPH

Although we have found the UTI Uribiotic Unisex Formula effective in both women and men, the latter - besides bladder infections - quite offten suffer from undiagnosed prostate infection (prostatitis) and/or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous swelling of the prostate gland.

If this is a case, for full benefits we recommend taking the UTI Uribiotic Unisex Formula along with another exceptional herbal supplement, namely:

• European DP Extract: Enlarged Prostate (BPH) Remedy.
