Are you more likely to get a uti if you don't drink a lot of water. i am lucky if i drink 2 glasses of water a day.

Yes: Staying hydrated is important to help flush any bacteria out of the bladder and prevent uti.

Push right fluids: Although no good controlled studies show fluid intake reduces UTI risk it's postulated yes (must be right fluid; not carbonated/ caffeinated /high sugar):1. Incr'd urine output (uo) dilutes bladder bacteria 2. Incr'd uo washes bacteria out/cleans lining 3. Incr frequency shrinks bladder decr'g surface area where bacteria thrive 4. Maintains optimal ph. Fluid restriction in women incr's UTI rate.
