Sposnored Ads

We are infected by urinary tract infection bacteria because it seeps up the urethra into our bladder and kidney. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, hence here are some prevention methods to avoid getting UTI.

Personal Cleanliness

Take note of your personal cleanliness at all times, especially cleanliness around the genital area. Clean with a wipe after urinating and keep it dry. Wear cotton underwear instead of underwear made of synthetic material. Cotton underwear absorb the moisture and evaporates the moisture, while synthetic materials trapped the moisture in the private areas.

Bacteria survives well in warm and moist condition, hence keeping the privates dry is a great prevention method.

After intercourse, clean your private area to prevent the bacteria and other germs from getting into contact with the opening of the urethra.

Personal Diet

Maintain a health diet to keep UTI and other diseases at bay. Drink sufficient amount of water to ensure that your urine is not stored for more than 6 hours in your bladder. Most of the bacteria are flushed out together with the pee whenever your visit the toilet.

It is shown by medical researches that drinking cranberry and blueberry juices prevent bacteria from multiplying. When purchasing the juices, ensure that they are not artificially sweetened. Instead of helping you to prevent urinary tract infections, drinking artificial juices might increase your risks of getting UTI.

 It is also noted that green tea will prevent UTI. An ingredient, tannin, if consumes daily, prevent the occurrence of this bacteria disease.

The above health prevention methods work not only for urinary infections but for other diseases as well. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep all diseases, including urinary infections away from your life
