How to prevent UTI?
UTI is easily preventable. One of the most important tips to prevent UTI is to practice good personal hygiene. Besides, healthy lifestyle choices such as eating foods that support urinary tract health and avoiding risky behavior can also help to prevent UTI.
Drink plenty of water a day.
Empty the bladder before and after exercise or sexual intercourse. Wash the genital area after sexual intercourse.
Include fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamin C in your diet such as red pepper, oranges, grapefruit and kiwifruit.
Steer clear of irritating feminine products. Skip deodorant sprays, scented powder and other feminine products with fragrances or chemicals.
Keep the genital and anal areas clean. It is important to wipe from the front to the back as this helps to prevent spreading bacteria from the anal area to the vagina and urethra.
