Recurring UTI’s? Here’s What to Do
Anyone who has had a UTI can understand how debilitating it can be. The first sign of a UTI can derail your entire day and cause painful symptoms until you are able to see the doctor. Does it seem like you get them more frequently than seems normal? Are you concerned with how often you get UTIs? If so, you may be dealing with recurring UTIs, and there are little changes you can make that can go a long way. Keep reading to learn more about tips for preventing a UTI, including taking part in a UTI Vaccine Clinical Study in Dallas.
Change Up Your Bathroom Routine
UTIs, which happen when bacteria get into any part of the urinary tract, such as the kidneys, bladder, or urethra, cause more than 8 million visits to the doctor annually. According to the American Urological Association, about 60% of women and 12% of men will have at least one UTI during their lifetime.
The first line of defense with UTIs is to practice good bathroom health. This includes:
- Urinate regularly; don’t hold your urine for too long. This can trigger a UTI, so make sure you urinate frequently.
- Make sure you are wiping from front to back and being extra careful.
- Avoid scented products
- Practice good hygiene by taking daily showers and changing your underwear frequently
- Avoid pants or underpants that are too tight on you
Prioritize a Sexual Health Routine
If you are sexually active and tend to get frequent UTIs, it is important to implement a healthy routine before and after sex. Frequent sexual intercourse increases the likelihood of bacteria entering the urethra. This makes it very important to make sure that you and your sexual partner are on the same page as far as hygiene and what to do before and after having sex.
Some tips include:
- Urinate immediately after sex
- Take cranberry supplements
- Avoid spermicides
- Make sure your partner practices good hygiene
