Solving Urinary Health Problems

Problems with the urinary system are quite common and include urinary tract infections (UTIs), interstitial cystitis, kidney stones, urinary incontinence, prostatitis, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 

For starters, UTIs are the most common infections in the world and are particularly problematic for women. They account for about 25% of all infections in women and about 50% of all women have reported having UTIs during the previous 12 months.

Interstitial cystitis, also called painful bladder syndrome, is another major problem. This debilitating condition affects an estimated 3.3 million American women. 

The more common urinary problems in men are prostatitis and BPH, which cause pain and difficulty urinating in about 1.6 million men.

Another painful and difficult problem people experience with the urinary system is kidney stones. It’s been estimated that 1 in 11 people in the United States have problems with kidney stones. 

The most serious of all urinary problems is chronic kidney disease, which results in the failure of the kidneys to function properly. About one in seven Americans will have this problem, which tends to get worse over time. Ultimately, about 2 in 1,000 Americans will wind up with end-stage kidney disease, which requires kidney dialysis and may require a kidney transplant. 

All of these kidney problems are interrelated and can be prevented and aided by adopting diet and lifestyle habits that keep the urinary system healthy. There are also many herbs that aid urinary function and can help to cure these various urinary ailments.
