How to prevent urinary tract infections?
Among the recommendations of the Union Health Ministry is to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, maintain good hygiene in the genital area, urinate frequently, wear cotton underwear and avoid tight clothes.
Although urine does not contain bacteria, sometimes bacteria from outside can enter the urinary tract and cause an infection, whether it is the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. The most common infection occurs in the bladder and is called cystitis.
