3 Ways to avoid getting female urinary infections

by Sania Kumari Professional Blogger

Toilets seats are the new dread amongst women! Every 4 out of ten women agree to the fact that they crouch over public toilets while urinating where many of them paper the seat before use, and only a few sit down on the seat. The reason is the dirty or apparently clean toilet seats, which cause vulnerable infections and diseases to women such as syphilis and pubic lice. Basically, the hard surface of the toilet seats may retain the bacteria like norovirus or shigella for two or three days. If these are not cleaned from time to time with effective anti-bacterial soaps and liquids, these are sure to get picked up by the skin of buttocks or legs. Many a time, women are able to note the visible microbes, but other times, they do not and easily fall prey to urethritis, cystitis, and other urinary tract infections.

1.    Keep anti-septic wipes or paper towels handy: The best way to avoid contact with germs and bacteria is to keep pocket-sized packets of medicated wipes in handy. Before using the toilet seats, you can wipe off the germs and comfortably pee. It is recommended that you wipe your private parts and buttocks with medicated wipes or paper towels after use.

2.    Use disposable female urination device: There are various disposable female urination devices available in the market, which allows the women to pee standing up. This prevents women to come in direct contact with the germs as the women can pee in female urine funnel and dispose of it after use. Such devices cut the chances of catching urinary infections by almost 50% as women do not need to sit on dirtier public toilets. Moreover, these female urine funnels are easy to carry on the go, which gives women more convenience to pee when they do not have access to toilets.

3.    Wear loose cotton clothing and underwear: Wearing tight undergarments made up of synthetic fabric is like welcoming the risks of infections and diseases. Where tight underwear decreases the blood circulation, synthetic fabric, unlike cotton, traps the yeast and bacterial infection. And, this attracts diseases and infections. Therefore, one should wear underwear made up of cotton fabrics that allow the pubic skin to breathe.

Though there can be numerous reasons behind female urinary infections, the above discussed are the most common ones. Therefore, include these tips in your daily routine and cut short the chances of getting prone to harmful diseases.
