Some advice to prevent cystitis

Cystitis : Common disorder in women and rarer in young men, urinary tract infection is related to the female anatomy which favors it (short urethra and near to rectum ).

Apart the care as soon as the infection appears to avoid complication (rise of the infection to the upper urinary tract) some advice allows to stop its chronicity.

The Probiotics are always useful because they not only balance the flora but act in a bactericidal and immune stimulant. The cranberry juice prevents the fixation of bacteria.

Of course if we ensure regular drinking, the heavy drinking is not recommended because it causes a distension of the bladder; 1,5 liter of liquid (any liquid absorbed) intake per day is recommended. Also make sure not to force the flow of urine (this also helps to prevent incontinence), urinating with sufficient frequency and not "dump" the bladder completely.
