WOMEN’S HEALTH WEDNESDAY
Let’s talk UTIs.
Risk factors for developing a UTI include: being female, being pregnant, being post-menopausal, (sorry ladies) being incontinent, catheterization, diabetes, kidney stones, dehydration, and previous infections.
Some helpful tips to prevent a UTI include: staying hydrated and urinating frequently, wiping from front to back (80% of UTIs are from e.coli), wearing cotton panties, emptying your bladder shortly after having sex, avoiding the use of scented soaps or perfumes in the perineal area, avoiding douching and drinking cranberry juice.
