How to prevent urethritis in women

First, pay attention to personal hygiene habits and reduce the number of times you use sanitary pads. Sanitary pads have poor air permeability and can easily lead to a large number of vaginal bacteria multiplying, causing inflammatory reactions, and urethritis can also easily occur. At the same time, female friends should also pay attention to the fact that after going to the toilet, they should wipe from front to back to prevent anal bacteria from being brought to the urethra and causing urethritis.

Second, develop good living habits and pay attention to vaginal hygiene, but do not rely too much on medicated washes. Just wash with clean water every day. Washes can easily destroy the growth of normal vaginal flora.

Third, make sure you have enough rest time and avoid overwork. Overwork will lead to a decrease in the body's immunity and create good conditions for bacterial invasion.
