The moment you start to experience symptoms like severe burning and Urinary incontinence, frequent urination, the urgency to urinate, and more it means, you may be having an infection in the urinary tract whether, in the urethra or bladder, it may spread up to the ureter and kidney.
Urinary tract infection is the second most common type of infection in the body mostly affecting women because they have short urethra that makes it easy for bacteria to journey into the tract and cause infection.
It doesn’t matter if you are suffering from UTI for the first time or you are constantly having the infection. what matters is how you can keep the infection at bay and in this article, we will be sharing some simple things you can do on a daily basis to ameliorate the condition and also hasten recovery. Take your time to read the post even if you are not a UTI sufferer, it will prevent you from have the infection too. Read on!
Some kinds of cloth and underwear women put on can affect their health and increase the risk of infection. The clothes you wear to the gym, for instance, are tight and do not give room for air to reach the body. by the time you finish exercising, moisture must have build up in the groin, vaginal and rectal area making it conducive for bacteria to grow. Because bacteria thrive in moisture, it is very important to opt for cotton underwear as they do not hold moisture and ensure you change cloth after a sweating section. this can help reduce the growth of bacteria in the vagina.
Stay hydrated means you should consume more fluid and one way to do that is to drink plenty of water because you can only get a small amount of fluid from foods and other beverages. Water is beneficial to overall health. drinking about 7–8 cups of water a day will help to flush out the bad bacteria through urination. this will prevent the bacteria from multiplying and gradually freeing the urinary tract from them.
If you are always wiping from back to front after using the toilet, you need to stop! that is helping the bacteria from the anus to the vagina and eventually into the urinary tract. the right way to wipe is from front to back, also, use a separate piece of toilet paper for the vagina and anus. this will help to reduce the amount of bacteria that may creep into the urinary tract.

Take care of your vagina before and after sex
It is very good to clean the anal and genital area before sex and do the same after sexual activities. also urinating before and after sex will go a long way to eliminate plenty of bacteria. Note that we do not suggest ‘douching’ as a method of cleaning the vagina.
Douching is harmful and can only increase the risk of UTIs. lastly, urinate the moment you feel the need, holding urine will only keep the bacteria longer in your system.
There are numerous food and drinks that can help you stay UTI- free. you just need to include them in your daily routine. examples are foods that are rich in fiber, fermented milk products, probiotics, cranberries, blueberries fruits and juice, foods that contain D-Mannose, etc.
The birth control method you use matters a lot as that can increase your risk of having a UTI. For instance, Diaphragms have the potential of preventing the bladder from completely emptying so bacteria can grow, attach to the lining of the urinary tract and cause infection. Another birth control method that may cause harm is spermicides, it can alter the vaginal pH giving room for yeast and other bad bacteria to overgrow. when they are much, they can find their way into the urinary tract to cause infection.
