“Unlock the Secrets to a UTI-Free Life: 14 Unexpected Tips You Need to Know!”
Sugary foods raise glucose levels in urine, and bacteria thrive in such environments. High sugar can also change the pH balance of the urinary tract, making it more acidic and prone to infections.
10. Avoid Hot Bubble Baths
The lining of the v*ginal walls and urinary tracts are quite delicate. Too much exposure to high temperatures can irritate its tissues.
Additionally, the products used to create bubbles and lather and hot water create a favorable environment for bacteria to grow. If you really want a relaxing bath, use lukewarm water without harsh soaps or shower gels.
11. Don’t Use Diaphragms or Spermicides
Diaphragms and spermicides are contraceptives that are placed inside the v*gina to prevent the sperm from reaching the cervix.
Although they are good for birth control, they can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina and urethra.
12. Always Pee After Intimacy
Peeing after intimacy is always a good idea, especially if you’re prone to UTIs.
It helps flush out any bacteria that may have entered during the activity. The path from the urethra to the bladder is short, especially for women, making it even more prone to infections.
13. Maintain Good Hygiene
Regardless of what you wear or do, it is important to keep yourself clean at all times. Some general practices include washing your hands frequently, showering, and changing clothes or undergarments regularly.
