Lifestyle Changes
Some changes in your hygiene and bathroom habits would be helpful in preventing and treating urinary tract infections. It is necessary to avoid holding your urine for an extended period. This would result in the accumulation of bacteria in the tract and cause an infection. Also, you should stay away from spermicide as this product is associated with an increased risk of UTIs. When you go to the bathroom, make sure to wipe front to back. Doing in a reverse direction would make bacteria spread to your urinary tract and cause the infection. [6]
