What Is a Bladder Infection?
8. Prevention
It is all but impossible to completely protect ourselves against bladder infections, but we can still make ourselves a lot safer from them. One way to help achieve this is to drink plenty of water to help flush potentially bothersome bacteria out of the urinary system. It is also recommended that women urinate after intercourse.
Women should also try to avoid using certain feminine hygiene products that might irritate their genitals. If you are getting frequent infections while using contraception, you should try and change the contraception you are using. You should also try and avoid holding urine in for too long. People that are particularly prone may be given antibiotics to help prevent new infections from forming.
