Urinary tract infection prevention methods

1. Eating habits:

Normally, you should eat light food, drink more than 2000 ml of water a day, and urinate once every 2 to 3 hours to ensure sufficient urine volume. Increased urine volume can flush the urethra, promote the excretion of bacteria and toxins, and reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections.

2. Hygiene habits:

The large number of bacteria living in the female perineum and urethra is a prerequisite for urinary tract infection. Therefore, women should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, especially during menstruation, pregnancy, and postpartum period. When bathing, try to use a shower, avoid a bath in a tub, change underwear frequently, and bathe frequently.

3. Lifestyle:

Maintain a regular living routine, actively exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, prevent colds, avoid staying up late, avoid overwork, and keep a good mood.

4. Remove susceptible factors:

Actively treating chronic gynecological diseases, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension and other diseases that are prone to urinary tract infections, and avoiding the use of immunosuppressants as much as possible are important measures to prevent recurrence.

5. Avoid using urinary tract instruments and catheters:

If it is necessary to use it, the tube must be removed in a timely manner in strict accordance with relevant regulations.

6. Vulva cleaning before and after sexual intercourse:

Both parties should clean their vulva before sex and develop the habit of urinating after sex. Avoid sexual intercourse during urinary tract infection and within one week after recovery.

7. Do not hold urine:

Avoid holding urine and keep bowel movements smooth.

8. Persist in treatment:

Patients with chronic urinary tract infection should patiently follow the doctor's instructions and adhere to the treatment. Do not stop taking the medication at will. Even after the symptoms disappear, you should go to the hospital for regular check-ups until the urine bacteria culture is normal several times, or after the planned treatment course is completed without recurrence, you can stop taking the medication.
