What Is a Kidney Infection?
8. Prevention
While we can’t be 100% safe from kidney infections, we can still take action to make ourselves safer from the disease. One of these is for women to wipe from front to back to help prevent infection from bacteria from the anus. Also, try avoiding female hygiene products that can be irritating to the urethra.
Drink plenty of fluids to help the body flush bacteria out of the kidneys and elsewhere in the urinary tract. You should also try to avoid holding in urine for too long, and make sure you go to the bathroom before you go out anywhere. Urinating after intercourse can also help to prevent kidney infections.
