Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a common problem for many women . More than 50% of women will experience a UTI at least once in their lifetime and many will encounter them on a recurring basis !

So while UTIs can differ from one person to another , making it even more frustrating to get help , here are 5 easy tips you can include into your lifestyle and stop those annoying UTIs once and for all ;

1 Drink plenty of water - More water = more urine . when you're hydrating your body and frequently urinating , you're helping flush out unwanted bacteria from your bladder and urinary tract . Drinking water throughout the day is essential in preventing UTIs .

2 Incorporate a supplement that contains Cranberry Extract - If you frequently get UTIs , it's beneficial to incorporate a Cranberry supplement . Cranberries high in PACs have the ability to prevent bacterial adhesion to the bladder wall . When bacteria cannot latch onto the bladder wall , they are then flushed out through the urinary tract .

3 Pee after sex - Peeing after sex ensures that bacteria are flushed out immediately .

4 Steer clear of scented feminine products and soaps - Feminine products and soaps can alter the vagina's pH and create an imbalance leading to unwanted infections .

5 If you're on birth control , speak to your 0B/GYN about new options - If you're on birth control such as a diaphragm , spermicide or spermicide-lubricated , condoms can increase your risk of getting a UTI . The primary way that birth control can increase your risk of a UTI is by disrupting your vaginal pH balance and causing an overgrowth of harmful bacteria . This overgrowth of harmful bacteria increases the risk of a UTI .
