An Overview on Homoeopathic Management for Urinary Tract Infection

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common type of infections having different causation and leading to the most reason for hospital admission. Mostly infecting women, children and old aged people. Though this infection acute on its onset is mostly associated with underlying chronic disease. Uncomplicated urinary tract infections occur in female patients with no structural abnormality or comorbidities such as diabetes, old age, pregnancy, or immunocompromised status. Complicated urinary tract infections occur in patients with structural abnormalities or comorbidities such as diabetes, old age, pregnancy, or immunocompromised status. Modern medicine uses antibiotic therapy for treatment but cannot prevent the recurrency of these infections and could do symptomatic relief. However, Dr. Hahnemann approached with individualization in homoeopathy thereby prescribing simple single remedy with proper case history, analysis and forming totality of symptoms with repertorization.
