Lifestyle
Hygiene and Behavioural Prevention
for UTI
Preventive hygiene practices including front-to-back wiping, voiding after intercourse, and avoiding irritant products to reduce UTI recurrence risk.
How it works
These practices reduce pathogen introduction into the urethra from the perineal and rectal area. Post-intercourse voiding flushes bacteria mechanically. Avoiding irritants preserves the natural mucous membrane barrier.
What to watch for
More impactful as prevention than treatment. Evidence for individual practices is largely observational. These are basic measures that should accompany any strategy for recurrent UTIs.
