Breaking the stigma about ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ a.k.a. UTIs. I know a lot of people, esp women, are shy to talk about UTIs. โฃ โฃ First of all, it is very common! Around 50โ60% of women will experience a UTI in their lifetime.โฃ โฃ Although sex is the # 1 cause of UTI itโs not the only one. Other causes include being immunocompromised & even just being a #woman is a risk factor! โฃ โฃ The bacteria, usually from the skin or rectum, enter the urethra, and infect the urinary tract. A woman has a shorter urethra than a man does, which shortens the distance that bacteria must travel to reach the bladder. โฃ โฃ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐ฝ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐น๐น๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด:โฃ โจUrinate after sexual activity.โฃ โจStay well hydrated and urinate regularly.โฃ โจTake showers instead of baths.โฃ โจMinimize douching, sprays, or powders in the genital area.โฃ โจTeach girls when potty training to wipe front to back.โฃ โจTake @uqora to flush out new bacteria, remove hidden bacteria, & balance the vaginal microbiome.
