I healed years of recurrent UTIs in 6 months
I’m always amazed at how incredible our bodies are when it comes to healing chronic illnesses.
This is my personal story of how I healed years of recurrent, painful UTIs in 6 months using all-natural medicine. I was able to stop taking antibiotics and didn’t have to deal with unpleasant side effects anymore.
This is one of my greatest success stories because it gave back my quality of life and inspired me to help others heal.
The endless cycle of repeated UTIs
For several years in my 20s I would suffer from painful UTIs multiple times per year. Sometimes even every month. My typical trigger was intercourse.
I was “lucky” in the sense that antibiotics would resolve the acute infection and I was symptom-free until the next episode. Ladies who suffer from chronic UTIs aren’t so lucky as they often have constant symptoms.
However, living this cycle of experiencing painful UTIs and taking antibiotics that made me sick was depressing.
How it affected my quality of life
The threat of an acute UTI was always lurking in the back of my mind. I never knew when it would strike and it always happened so suddenly.
This meant that I couldn’t fully relax and enjoy life. I would try to prevent infections as much as possible that took some fun and spontaneity away from me. Planning ahead, thinking ahead and using my limited mental power to always be prepared for the worst was exhausting.
The worst thing was the thought that it may never go away and I would be a victim of the illness for the rest of my life.
Antibiotic prophylaxis made everything worse
The doctor I saw was very empathetic. He took the illness seriously and ordered tests such as an ultrasound of my kidneys. But sadly he didn’t have many solutions to offer me, apart from antibiotics.
Eventually, he decided to put me on a 6-week prophylactic course of strong antibiotics to see if that would make a difference. It wasn’t pleasant as I felt sick taking the tablets.
Also, it didn’t help the problem. In fact, the opposite happened. I started getting UTIs even more frequently afterwards!
In hindsight, it makes sense as the strong antibiotics probably messed up my immune system even more making me more prone to repeated infections.
First attempt at natural remedies to heal my UTI
After several years of dealing with recurrent UTIs and taking antibiotics I decided to take control of my own healing. I started to research alternative healing options and the first place I looked into was herbs and supplements.
I tried cranberry and Uva Ursi tablets. They did help to an extent, but these herbs weren’t able to get rid of my UTIs completely.
I managed okay with taking some antibiotics and herbal medicines, however, this protocol didn’t help with the underlying issue of recurrent infections. I kept having at least 3 infections per year. Sometimes more.
The real solution that healed my UTI permanently
Life is interesting – the solution to a problem is usually presented when you’re ready to see it, accept it and understand it.
I always had an interest in natural medicine and when I returned to London after travelling for two years, I decided to study homeopathy. I didn’t have a strong reason why I wanted to do it, as I had never used it before, but it was calling me.
During my first year of studies I learned about different remedies and wanted to experiment on myself. And my recurrent UTIs were a perfect opportunity to do so.
My experience using a homeopathic remedy for the first time
For context, my UTI symptoms were intense. I would feel burning pain constantly, the only thing relieved it was peeing. But then the pain would return very shortly after. Also, I had a constant urge to pee. I would go every 2 minutes as it was the only thing that brought relief. Sometimes there was blood in my urine.
I used to take ibuprofen or paracetamol at the first sign of symptoms as it helped with the pain. However, for some reason it takes at least an hour for any painkillers to affect me. So, for that one hour, I would suffer from intense pain. When the pain medicine kicked in, I still had pain but it was much lessened.
Then I would also take antibiotics which usually took the symptoms away within a day or two.
The first time I used homeopathy for an acute UTI, I took Staphisagria 200c as it seemed to match my symptoms the best. I was amazed when all the pain went away in just 10 minutes.
- I had not expected the remedy to be so effective for pain relief. Better than ibuprofen!
- I didn’t know homeopathy could work so quickly
I had to repeat the remedy a few times during the first day and I continued to take it twice a day for the next 3 days. And that was it, my UTI was completely gone within 5 days without using any antibiotics, herbals or supplements.
The healing process felt different
When I used homeopathy for the first time (and this might sound weird) I was able to feel the healing take place with every passing day and somehow this was a nice sensation.
I felt more connected to my body, I was aware of what was happening and could track the progress by tuning into my body.
The pain and discomfort disappeared very quickly when I took the remedy and if it returned, I would take the remedy again. During the days it took to get better, I could feel my bladder was sensitive and a bit raw (but no pain). And I could tell when I was completely healed from the acute episode.
With antibiotics and painkillers I never had this experience. Pharmaceutical drugs have a very suppressive effect on me. Yes, they took pain and symptoms away but I also was never sure if the infection was truly healed or if the drugs were just masking the symptoms temporarily.
And then the UTIs just disappeared
Now that I was armed with Staphisagria to manage my UTIs completely naturally and effectively, without annoying side effects from antibiotics like nausea or yeast infection, I continued to take it when I would feel a UTI coming on.
This often nipped the infection in the bud and never even became a full-on UTI. I was so relieved and happy.
For the next 6 months, I had a handful of these almost-UTIs but I started to notice they happened less and less. And then somewhere after 6 months, I didn’t get them anymore. The UTIs had gone away… And it’s been over 10 years since I’m happily UTI-free!
The homeopathic remedy helped my body to fix the root cause, the underlying tendency to get UTIs regularly. This is a common result of homeopathic treatment when the remedies are the right fit and the treatment is continued for a long-enough period.
Benefits of choosing homeopathic treatment for UTI
I know how horrible UTIs are. I wouldn’t wish this illness on anyone. And I know it’s possible to heal. I’ve done it so anyone can do it.
The benefits of using homeopathy are:
- Pain relief can be very quick
- No side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, yeast infection
- Cost-effective, homeopathic remedies are cheap and last a long time
- No toxic ingredients
- No damage to your gut health
- Can heal the root cause
- Doesn’t cause or contribute to antibiotic resistance
- Custom-made treatment, no one-size-fits-all
