Everything You Need to Know to Care for Your Bladder

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common infectious conditions in humans, especially in women, and they can be a significant hindrance for many people who experience a reduced quality of life when they become recurrent. When faced with these infections, we have become accustomed to the systematic prescription of antibiotics, without often asking, neither doctors nor patients, what the underlying causes are, what we can do to avoid them, or how we could at least reduce their frequency. However, there are many factors that can influence their development, and there is much we can do to try to prevent them beyond the common hygiene recommendations.

In this book, Dr. Teresa Pastor, a specialist in Urology, explains in a simple and engaging way how our urinary system works and what factors influence the development of recurrent urinary tract infections. Thanks to her knowledge in integrative medicine, she offers a multitude of strategies and recommendations to identify the origin of your infections, treat their causes, and prevent their recurrence. From caring for our pelvic floor to our diet or exposure to toxins, in these pages, you will discover how you can address urinary infections beyond the use of antibiotics.

Don't let these infections become a limiting factor in your life, preventing you from activities you love or conditioning your daily routine, because your quality of life should not depend on what your bladder says, but on what you decide at every moment.
