Urinary Tract Infection

SN instructed patient that water helps flush your urinary tract, make sure you drink plenty of plain water daily. Don't hold it when you need to urinate. Holding it when you need to go can help any bacteria that may be present develop into a urinary tract infection. Wipe from front to back after a bowl movement. This is especially important to help prevent bacteria from the anus from entering the vagina or urethra.
