*How to help prevent urinary tract infections (UTI’s)

The National Institute of Health recommends the following tips to preventing urinary tract infections.

  1. Drink lots of water to flush your system
  2. Do not try to hold urine for long periods of time
  3. Always wipe from front to back to avoid spreading fecal bacteria to your urinary tract
  4. Avoid use of douches, feminine hygiene sprays or perfumed soaps

It may also help to do showers instead of baths.  Cranberry juice and cotton panties may also be beneficial. 

Signs of a UTI include burning with urination, frequent urination, pain in the lower belly, urine that smells bad or is dark, and fever.  If you have any of these symptoms, see your health care provider.
