Women ’ s Urinary Tract Health 101
A healthy urinary tract is something all women want and probably most take for granted — that is until they have a problem . The urinary system is comprised of the bladder , kidneys , ureters and urethra . The ureters are the tubes that take urine from the kidneys to the bladder , and the urethras are the tubes that take urine from the bladder out of the body . A healthy bladder is normally sterile , which means it is free of bacteria and infectious organisms .
However , even in a healthy bladder , microbes can get past the body ’ s natural defenses and throw the urinary tract off balance . Escherichia coli ( E . coli ), usually found in the small intestine , is an example of an invader that tries to spread to the urinary tract and adhere to its cell walls . Once it makes its home in the urinary tract , it can attract more bacteria and an imbalance may occur .
For centuries , women have used cranberries to support urinary tract health . Rich in natural phytochemicals called proanthocyanidins , or PACs , cranberries can help keep unhealthy bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract and bladder wall , thereby flushing out invaders .
