Do you feel a burning sensation while peeing? Are you not able to hold your pee for long? If your answer to the above questions is yes, then you may be suffering from Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).

Urinary tract infection affects the kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters and urethra, responsible for transporting the urine out of the body.

The infection is caused by the Escherichia coli bacteria which resides in the digestive tract but causes infection when it finds its way into the urinary tract.

Due to the location of the anus, which is very close to the urethra, it is easier for them to enter into the urinary tract. That is why doctors always stress the importance of wiping front to back to avoid these bacteria from coming in contact with the urethra.

Once they reach there, the conditions are ideal for them and they multiply, causing infection.

UTI is caused due to the following reasons:

• When there is no proper hygiene maintained after the bowel movements.
• Improper use of diapers in children.
• The use of birth control devices such as diaphragm or condoms.
• Unsafe sexual practices or not peeing after sex.
• Holding pee for long.

Though it is common in both men and women, UTI is more common in women because their urethra is shorter and closer to the anus.

UTI can be treated with a variety of antibiotics. But the bacteria tend to turn more resilient to them. Therefore, there is an utter need to find natural, yet safe alternatives to them.

When we are talking about natural and effective remedies to treat UTI, the one ingredient which tops the list is coriander seeds.
