A tiny percentage of women struggle to cure their urinary tract infections for a long time. There are a number of reasons why their bladder infection won’t go away, and these can easily be discovered. The trouble with chronic UTIs is the creation of resistant bacteria because of the over-exposure of antibiotics. To keep on using them, the bacteria become stronger, and the infection becomes worse.

Five percent of women already need a second course of antibiotic for their bladder infections because more strains of E coli are becoming resistant to the drug. Ten million women are going to their doctor in the USA every year with UTIs so all these bacterium are getting plenty of exposure to these drugs.

Because antibiotics are prescribed for almost all infections now resistant urinary tract infections are on the increase. It doesn’t matter what infection you have taken the antibiotics for, the bacteria that has caused your infection has had some exposure to all the antibiotics you’ve ever taken.

Ninety percent of the time the bacteria that causes urinary tract infections is the E coli bacterium. The bacteria lives naturally in your bowel, and every course of antibiotics that you’ve ever taken has effected the effectiveness of your prescription antibiotics for your UTI. It’s even worse if you have taken antibiotics in the past for the incorrect amount of time, and you haven’t fully killed off all the bacteria in your body. This makes them resistant.

When drugs no longer cure your infections it’s time to look at alternative treatments. Natural cures don’t create resistant strains of bacteria so they work every time. They also work a lot faster than conventional treatments, and are much kinder to your immune system. Too many courses of antibiotics weaken your immune system, and they destroy your body’s bacterial balance.

When you’re using anti bacterial drugs you can’t expect to get a different result if you keep on using them. When the bacteria starts building resistance, the more you use the drugs the stronger the bacteria gets. The bacteria mutates as a self defense mechanism, and this is why we have super dugs in hospitals now, because of all the exposure the bacteria has had to antibiotics.

The longer your UTI won’t go away the more chance you have of your infection spreading to your kidneys. You must do something as soon as possible to eliminate the bacteria from your urethra. If you don’t want to try an alternative treatment then you need to see your doctor as soon as you can.
