How To Prevent Getting A Urinary Tract Infection

How do I prevent getting a urinary tract infection?

Prevention of a urinary tract infection involves drinking a lot of liquids. This makes you generate more urine, which makes you more frequently pass urine, and in doing so you can wash out bacteria that have entered into the urinary system. Additionally, the occurrence of urinary tract infections can be lessened by not holding on to the urine when you feel the urge to urinate. It's important to empty out the urine when the bladder is full because retained urine in the bladder is a culture medium in which bacteria grow.
