Chronic UTIs

 

Naturopathic Care for Chronic UTIs in Coquitlam and Vancouver

Are you dealing with the frustration of recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs)? Chronic UTIs can disrupt daily life, causing pain, discomfort, and anxiety over the risk of infection recurrence. Our naturopathic approach to chronic UTI care in Coquitlam and Vancouver, BC, focuses on addressing the root causes of your symptoms to provide lasting relief and help you regain control of your urinary health.

What Causes Chronic UTIs?

Chronic UTIs occur when bacteria repeatedly infect the urinary tract, leading to recurrent symptoms even after treatment. These infections are more likely to occur in people who have:

  • An imbalance in urinary or gut microbiota

  • Immune system deficiencies

  • Hormonal imbalances or menopause-related changes

  • Incomplete bladder emptying or urinary retention

  • History of antibiotic resistance

Our approach to chronic UTI treatment considers all these factors to help break the cycle of infection and prevent future recurrences.

Our Naturopathic Approach to Chronic UTI Care

Our chronic UTI care is a comprehensive and personalized program that addresses your symptoms and the underlying causes contributing to recurring infections. By treating the root causes, we aim to reduce recurrence and improve your urinary and overall health.

Our Chronic UTI Treatment Protocol:

  1. In-Depth Consultation and Assessment: We begin with a detailed assessment of your health history, symptoms, and any previous treatments for UTIs. Additional lab testing may be recommended to identify contributing factors like hormone levels, immune health, or gut bacteria imbalances.

  2. Targeted Natural Therapies:

    • Herbal Antimicrobials: Targeted herbal antimicrobials help combat infection without disrupting your natural microbiome.

    • Immune Support: Natural supplements and lifestyle changes enhance your body’s defenses against recurrent infections.

    • Gut and Microbiome Health: Balancing gut and urinary microbiota is key for lasting relief. We may recommend probiotics or specific prebiotics to support a healthy balance.

    • Hormonal Balance: For individuals experiencing menopause or hormonal imbalances, hormone-supporting supplements may be suggested.

  3. Preventive Care and Lifestyle Support: Preventing future UTIs is a vital part of our protocol. We provide personalized guidance on lifestyle modifications, hydration, diet, and hygiene practices to reduce recurrence risk.

  4. Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Chronic UTI treatment can be a gradual process, and we support you every step of the way. Follow-up appointments ensure that your progress is monitored and adjustments are made as needed.
