How it works

Increased urine volume and frequency physically flushes bacteria from the bladder before they can multiply and establish infection.

Effective for mild symptoms and prevention. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist beyond 48 hours, if you have fever, or if you suspect a kidney infection.

Why moderate evidence

A large RCT showed increasing water intake by 1.5L daily reduced UTI recurrence by 50% in women with recurrent UTIs.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
