Urinary tract infections have become one of the most common infections today, occurring more frequently than respiratory infections, which cause so many problems during the cold season. Statistics show that one in two women will experience a urinary tract infection at some point in their lives, because women are apparently prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to the very anatomy of their urinary system.
The main causes of this infection can be counted on the fingers of one hand:
- Anatomy of the Urinary Tract
- Imbalance in the bacterial flora
- Low fluid intake
- Infrequent urination
- Wearing inappropriate underwear
Some of these causes may seem a bit implausible at first glance. However, upon closer examination, a dangerous cycle emerges that is harmful to urinary tract health. A weakened immune system, prone to infections, is not a cause but an effect of external factors—along with a lack of proper hygiene practices and an unhealthy diet.
To prevent the onset and, especially, the recurrence of a urinary tract infection, a few simple steps should be followed consistently.
- You urinate frequently – Whenever you feel the need to urinate, do so without delay – emptying your bladder frequently helps maintain a normal level of bacteria inside and prevents them from multiplying. Urinating after sexual intercourse can protect the bladder and urethra from potential urinary tract infections.
- Wipe from front to back, when you urinate, making sure not to wipe from back to front. This prevents bacteria from the anal area from reaching the opening of the urethra. Stick to this routine when you wash as well.
- Drink enough water – Start by drinking one extra glass of water every day, and don’t forget to drink plenty of water when you exercise.
- Wear cotton underwear (100% cotton) and avoid wearing synthetic, tight-fitting clothing that does not allow for proper ventilation and leads to high moisture levels in that area.
- Include probiotics and prebiotics in your daily diet. To prevent an imbalance in the gut microbiota, we should aim to include probiotics in our diet—either naturally or through a dietary supplement.
That is why Sanience has come up with the perfect combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and extract of cranberry – Urobiotic Forte is known for relieving urinary tract infection symptoms and maintaining urinary tract health.
URObiotic Forte contains a unique, concentrated formula that synergistically combines the action of three natural ingredients: live probiotic cultures, D-mannose, and American blueberry extract, which provide a double protection for the urinary tract. This can be the first step in preventing urinary tract infections.
