URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) PROGRAM

The Surprising Link Between UTIs and Mental Health- Untangling the UTI-mental health knot isn't just about treating physical symptoms— it’s about embracing the mind-body connection.

When we think of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), we usually think of it as an irritating physical affliction— the burning sensation, and constant urge to run to the restroom. However, there’s more to UTIs than what meets the eye—a lot more.

UTIs, especially when left untreated (thanks to silent UTI symptoms), can have a powerful impact on your brain chemistry and mental health.

As we age, symptoms of UTIs grow less and less detectable, and our body’s natural defense mechanisms begin to weaken. It’s important to understand the connection between physical and mental health, and build holistic lifestyle patterns that prevent avoidable illnesses.
You may find some effect of anxiety and stress can have on the body on the pictures and it is not limited to that! Does it make sense to give pills to someone anxious by a corrupt system??? Or give constant pills the psychologist do not necessary do his or her work and give a whole amount of unnecessary pills for something they are limited to understand and without understanding the underlying issues the whole vicious cycles are repeated!

Mild to moderate anxiety and depression may be prevalent in female patients with urinary tract infections. There is a correlation between anxiety, depression and recurrence frequency of recurrent urinary tract infections in female patients. Mild to moderate anxiety levels are mainly related with more than 3 times for 1 year of recurrence frequency in female patients with recurrent urinary tract infections. Also, mild depression levels are mainly related with more than 5 times for 1 year of recurrence frequency in female patients with recurrent urinary tract infections.
So, you do not want to jump in and explore the relationship between the urinary tract and the brain, and how to holistically maintain a healthy balance between the two to help you stay on top of your mental and emotional wellness? Or Because the system we are is so corrupt it blocks some our visions to be helped and possibility to heal properly.

While prevention is key to maintaining your body’s balance, sometimes UTIs still happen. To all the brave souls facing the challenges of the UTI and chronic UTI, remembering that self-care is king is of utmost importance in maintaining your mental wellness during this period.

While many studies address the clinical management of participants with uncomplicated urinary tract infection (uUTI), the emotional impact of uUTIs has been investigated less often.
Are there Emotional Causes of UTIs? Here it is just from a TCM viewpoint and and not all may be connected however why will you choose one therapy versus the other more?

Eastern and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have long understood the way our mental and spiritual bodies connect and manifest in our physical body. According to these ancient teachings, it is usually emotional causes that are behind physical ailments and health problems. The goal of TCM is to balance the life energy "Qi" in order to live healthy and happy. However, Western science has now also recognized the interplay between our emotions and our bodies: We know, for example, that our intestines act as a second brain, and that stress can be extremely toxic.
According to TCM, each organ is associated with one of the five basic elements (water, fire, metal, earth and wood) and certain emotions. So often the physical disorder is related to an emotional disorder. For example, if we have a stomach pain, stress and suppressed anger can also be the triggers - hence the name irritable stomach. Conversely, an imbalanced organ can also amplify a specific emotion. For example, a stomach that is out of balance due to certain foods can also promote stress and anger - a real vicious cycle!

Of course, straining emotions are unavoidable in our daily lives and also completely normal for the body. They are only pathological when they are suppressed or expressed particularly intensely, often, uncontrollably or out of context.
What emotion can cause bladder infections?

The emotion of fear, in particular, is associated with UTIs. Anxiety is the emotion of the kidneys and bladder - the organs associated with the water element. Anxiety is a normal feeling, but it can become chronic if we ignore it. In the case of major changes in life or unstable, uncertain life conditions that cause us anxiety, can kidney problems arise in this way??? What about oxolate??? What about dysbiosis, what about???

Asymptomatic bacteriuria is the presence of bacteria in the urine (a positive urine culture) without the signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI). It is common for the elderly to have bacteria in their urine. In fact, 15%–30% of men and 25%–50% of women in long-term care may have bacteria in their urine without symptoms.

A number of age-related factors and medical conditions are associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria. Diabetes, pelvic prolapse or cystocele, enlarged prostate, vaginal atrophy, immobility, incontinence and dehydration may all contribute to asymptomatic bacteriuria.

No. Antibiotics are not required for asymptomatic bacteriuria because it is not an infection. Treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria does not improve or prevent incontinence, prevent symptomatic UTIs from developing or have any other benefits. Harms have been seen in residents who are given antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Yes. One-third of UTI prescriptions in long-term care homes are given for asymptomatic bacteriuria. This means that a large number of residents are receiving antibiotics unnecessarily. This is a concern for both residents and long-term care homes. Urine tests (such as dipsticks and urinalysis) are often positive for white blood cells, leukocyte esterase and nitrites in residents with asymptomatic bacteriuria, but this is also common and is not a reason to prescribe antibiotics. These tests are not recommended or useful for diagnosing UTIs in long-term care home residents.
