Collection: Vaginal Care & UTI Products

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common infections seen by doctors in North America and experienced primarily by women.  A UTI can be caused by bacteria resistant to common antibiotics. This makes the UTI more difficult to treat and can lead to complications. Antibiotic resistance has been on the rise globally due to antibiotics being prescribed unnecessarily or inappropriately. 

Urinary tract infections normally occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply in the bladder. Although the urinary system is designed to keep out such microscopic invaders, these defences sometimes fail. When that happens, bacteria may take hold and grow into a full-blown infection in the urinary tract.

There are ways to reduce the frequency and lower the risk of UTI's: these are some of the steps one can take:  

• Drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Drinking water helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate more frequently — allowing bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin.
• Drink cranberry juice. Although studies are not conclusive that cranberry juice prevents UTIs, it is likely not harmful.
• Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
• Empty your bladder soon after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.
• Avoid potentially irritating feminine products. Using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra.
• Change your birth control method. Diaphragms, or unlubricated or spermicide-treated condoms, can all contribute to bacterial growth
