Homeopathy for burning after urination

In addition to home remedies such as drinking lots of water, warm compresses and taking cranberry or cranberry preparations, homeopathic remedies can also help to relieve the burning sensation after urination. Typical remedies for a burning sensation when urinating would be Apis, which also helps with menstrual problems and sparse urine; Berberis, which also helps with general kidney problems and exhaustion; Cantaris for extremely strong burning and stabbing pains; Lycopodium for additional malodorous urine and flatulence of the intestine; Nux vomica in case of constant urge to urinate, which is unsuccessful; sarsaparilla in case of pain at the end of urination, the urine may also be darkly discoloured; sepia in case of a particularly severe burning sensation during menstruation and spontaneous urination; and staphisagria in case of burning sensation during urination after sexual intercourse. However, if pain in the back or hips, fever or blood in the urine should occur in the course of the disease, or if the symptoms persist for more than a week, a doctor should be consulted immediately, who can rule out serious illness.

Burning sensation after urination during pregnancy

If a burning sensation occurs after urination during pregnancy, a urinary tract infection must always be ruled out. Although the urinary tract infection in itself does not pose a risk to the unborn child, an inflammation of the renal pelvis (pyelonephritis) can occur in pregnant women if the bacteria migrate from the bladder via the ureters into the kidney. Especially if there is pain when urinating in addition to the burning sensation, a urinary tract infection is suspected.

This can lead to severe pregnancy complications such as premature birth, in addition to symptoms such as chills and fever, pain in the kidney area, difficulty emptying the bladder and a severe feeling of illness. In the presence of inflammation of the renal pelvis, admission to hospital and bed rest are necessary in order to carry out targeted antibiotic therapy and to ensure an adequate fluid intake. Furthermore, other causes of the urinary tract infection should be clarified, for example a urinary transport disorder.

When examining the urine, a urine culture should always be made to determine the exact pathogen and to treat it specifically, as not every antibiotic is suitable during pregnancy. The antibiotic therapy usually lasts for a week and then it should be checked whether the therapy was successful. Studies have shown that successful treatment of pathogens in urine, whether or not the pregnant woman complains of symptoms such as burning after going to the toilet, can reduce the risk of preterm birth. For this reason, a urine test is planned during prenatal care to detect the accumulation of bacteria in the bladder or urinary tract without symptoms and to treat them if necessary.
