3 Reasons You Have A UTI
HOW TO PREVENT UTI
URINATE AFTER SEX
This is one of the biggest causes I see in the Emergency Room. Young women don’t know the importance of urinating after sex. The stream of urine pushes any potential bacteria away from your urethra (where your urine comes out). It doesn't have to be immediate. Get your cuddles in first! Don’t wait more than a few hours before excusing yourself to the bathroom.
2. FRONT TO BACK
Make sure you wipe front to back after using the restroom. Yes it does make a difference and can help keep bacteria from making its way to your bladder.
3. ANATOMY
As women there is a short distance between the outside world. Which is full of micro organisms (bacteria) and our bladder. As compared to the male anatomy. If you get frequent UTIs it might be time to talk to your doctor about preventative measures, like cranberry supplements.
