URINARY TRACT INFECTION

🔴 URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) AWARENESS.
The main danger associated with untreated UTIs is that the infection may spread from the bladder to one or both kidneys.
When bacteria attack the kidneys, they can cause damage that will permanently reduce kidney function.
In people who already have kidney problems, this can raise the risk of kidney failure.

🔴 How long does a UTI last untreated?
Some UTIs will go away on their own in as little as 1 week.
However, UTIs that do not go away on their own will only get worse over time.
If you think you have a UTI, speak with a doctor about the best course of action.

🔴 Prevention.
You can take these steps to reduce your risk of urinary tract infections:
✅ Drink plenty of liquids, especially water.
Drinking water helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate more frequently - allowing bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin.
✅ Drink cranberry juice.
Although studies are not conclusive that cranberry juice prevents UTIs, it is likely not harmful.
✅ Wipe from front to back.
Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
✅ Empty your bladder soon after intercourse.
Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.
✅ Avoid potentially irritating feminine products.
Using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra.
✅ Change your birth control method.
Diaphragms, or unlubricated or spermicide-treated condoms, can all contribute to bacterial growth.
