How can you ward off a bladder/urinary tract infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay hjydrated: Don't wait too long (e.g. Not more than 3-4 hours) between urinations, empty the bladder soon after intercourse, and clean carefully after bowel movements. Although there are no research studies, these are commone sense things that may help reduce the incidence of uti's.
