Common Treatments for Urinary Tract Infections You Should Know

Staying Hydrated

Perhaps the simplest way to prevent and treat urinary tract infections is to stay hydrated. Water can help organs in the urinary tract to eliminate wastes from the body as well as retain important electrolytes and nutrients. Drinking enough water also plays a role in diluting your urine. This makes it more difficult for bacteria to penetrate urinary tract cells and trigger an infection. Ideally, a healthy adult should drink more or less 2 liters of water on a daily basis. [3]
