Since women are more prone to UTI, these are steps that a woman can take to avoid an infection. Some of these measures are also applicable to men.
- In using toilet papers, wipe from front to back. This will prevent the bacteria around the anus from going into your vagina or urethra.
- No matter how tempting a good soak can be, showers are healthier that tub baths.
- You must cleanse your genital area before having sexual intercourse. The act of penetration can push bacteria at your vaginal orifice into your vagina.
- You must avoid using feminine hygiene sprays and douches or at least limit them.
- You must drink plenty of water every day. Coconut water could also help you.
- You must urinate every time you feel the need to. Do not ever resist an urge to urinate.
