Tips to Prevent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) from My Care Labs’ Medical Director

My Care Labs wants to share valuable tips from their Medical Director on how to prevent Urinary Tract Infections through natural remedies and lifestyle changes.

FREMONT, CA, UNITED STATES, September 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- My Care Labs, a leader in diagnostic services, is proud to offer UTI testing five days a week at our Fremont lab, with walk-in and appointment options. In addition to our testing services, Dr. Carl Johnson, Medical Director at My Care Labs, is sharing key tips on how to naturally prevent UTIs and maintain urinary tract health.

Dr. Johnson’s Tips to Prevent UTIs:

- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush bacteria out of your urinary tract, reducing the risk of infection.

- Incorporate Cranberries: Studies suggest that cranberries contain compounds that prevent bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall, lowering the chance of infection. Opt for unsweetened cranberry juice or supplements.

- Practice Proper Hygiene: Wiping from front to back after using the restroom prevents bacteria from spreading to the urethra. Additionally, avoid prolonged use of tight-fitting underwear or wet swimsuits.

- Urinate Regularly: Don’t hold your urine for extended periods. Regular urination helps expel bacteria before it causes infection.

- Consume Probiotic-rich Foods: Probiotics, found in foods like yogurt, help maintain healthy bacteria in your urinary tract, which can combat harmful bacteria.

- Wear Breathable Fabrics: Wearing cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes allows airflow, preventing bacteria from growing in moist environments.

- Avoid Irritants: Certain personal hygiene products, such as douches, powders, and harsh soaps, can irritate the urethra and lead to UTIs. Stick to gentle, unscented products.

By following these natural remedies and lifestyle tips, you can reduce your risk of developing UTIs. However, if symptoms do occur, My Care Labs is here to help with fast and reliable testing services.
