SARAH HAUER: Hi. I'm Sarah Hauer. SIG HAUER: And I'm Sig Hauer, and we're professional
practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. SARAH HAUER: We're here on behalf of Expert
Village. SIG HAUER: And welcome to our video. We also treat many different forms of urogenital
problems, urogenital disorders such as stress incontinence, UTIs, urinary tract infections,
and impotence. And urogenitally, we can also treat *** dysfunction, erectile dysfunction,
those types of things as well. SARAH HAUER: Urinary tract infections are quite common
and we've treated a lot of them. They range in degrees of acuteness. Some people have
urinary tract infections that come on very quickly and it's very painful and they experience
bloody urine. Now, in those situations we're recommending a looser formula which are the
herbs behind us and with our looser formula, we can help relieve the pain and symptoms
within 30 minutes to an hour of taking that formula. It's very strong and it's very effective.
Now, there's other UTIs where they're kind of a low-grade, long-term, but where bacteria
still pick up in the urine and we can treat those with prepared formulas and as well as
looser formulas, but Chinese herbs and acupuncture quite successfully treat UTIs. We look at
urinary tract infections, it's an imbalance in the body; it's not just in the urinary
system and by balancing the other areas of the body--and particularly, it's a fire, a
toxic heat that is systemically happening but draining out through the urinary tract.
And by treating that from that perspective, in that direction, we can not only treat the
acute symptom of the UTI but we can help prevent UTIs from recurring and we can strengthen
the whole body. So, it's very important that you continue your course of treatment until
the symptoms are gone, but we can really remedy urogenital problems. Yeast infections in women
are quite common too, and they are also an indication of an overall imbalance in dampness
and heat, sometimes cold systemically throughout the body, and by taking those formulas we
do strengthen the constitution and prevent them from recurring. A lot of women suffer
from recurring yeast infection or recurring urinary tract infections and these can be
common around hormonal changes during the month as well as hormonal changes in your
life during menopause or perimenopause, these things are quite common, and Chinese medicine
treats this very effectively. A lot of Western medications, antibiotics can bring on yeast
infections; we can help women really avoid that as well.
