Homeopathy Treatments for Urinary Tract Infection
It is a common condition caused by bacteria entering and multiplying in the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, and urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body). UTIs can affect any part of the urinary tract, but they most commonly occur in the bladder and urethra.
Risk Factors
