What Is Urethritis?
8. Prevention
Practices that will help to encourage a healthy urinary tract are one way to help prevent urethritis from developing. This includes avoiding foods that have a high acid content, and women should avoid using spermicides that irritate their urethra. Urinating after sex is also advised, as is drinking lots of fluids.
The underlying cause of urethritis is usually a sexually transmitted infection. This means that taking precautions against STIs can also help to protect people against urethritis. Using condoms will help to prevent the spread of diseases, while limiting how many sexual partners you have will also reduce your risk.
