Prevention
The best thing you can do is to prevent UTIs from occuring. Here are my tips:

1. Urinate as you feel the need. Avoid holding in urine.

2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day

3. Avoid excess coffee, alcohol, smoking, and spicy foods

4. Women should wipe from the front to the back after going to the bathroom. This helps to prevent e.coli from the colon from entering the bladder.

5. Cleanse the genital area before sexual intercourse. Urinating after sexual intercourse can also help.

6. Avoid bubble baths, feminine hygiene sprays, and scented douches, products which can irritate the urethra
Cranberry juice would be about the best
