How to Prevent Urinary Tract Infections

Patient's question:

Often feel frequent urination, and feel a burning sensation at the glans during urination. Sometimes, it feels like you're about to go right after finishing, yet when you try again, the urine output is very little. What could be the reason? How can it be prevented?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Urinary tract infection is a relatively common disease. The preventive methods include: drink plenty of water, with a daily intake of at least 2000ml, and urinate every 2-3 hours. If the patient is related to sexual activity, they should urinate promptly after intercourse. If necessary, consult a gynecologist and choose an appropriate contraceptive method. Additionally, it is best to avoid the use of urinary tract instruments as much as possible. You can also drink cranberry juice more often in daily life, as cranberry juice can prevent Escherichia coli from adhering to the urinary epithelial cells, which may help in preventing urinary tract infections.
