56 All Natural Juice Recipes to Help Cure Urinary Tract Infections: Quickly Improve Your Condition without Medical Treatments By Joe Correa CSN A urinary infection is a group of rather common infections of any part of the urinary tract - kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These infections are caused by different microbes (mostly bacteria) that overcome the body's ability to defend itself. This condition leads to more frequent urge to urinate followed by a painful and burning sensation and/or strong smelling urine. Studies show that women are more likely to suffer from urinary infections (with the risk of over 50%) at least once in their life with many cases of repeated infections. Most urinary infections are caused by bacteria Escherichia coli which can be found in the digestive tract and Chlamydia that attacks urethra. In general, everybody can develop some form of urinary infection. However, there are some risk factors that increase the chances of developing repeated urinary infections. These factors include: - Improper body hygiene - Diabetes - Pregnancy - Urinary catheter - Blocked urine flow - Kidney diseases - Repeated use of antibiotics which affect the natural microflora - Weakened immune system
