how to avoid UTIs in the summer ☀️

UTIs are more common in the summer!! The main reasons why are dehydration, changes in vaginal pH which causes bacteria growth & tight/non breathable clothing.

Luckily we can do things to prevent UTIs ✨ here are my 4 rules:

1) change out of swim suit & sweaty gym clothes👙

The materials these clothes are made of create a moist environment which lets bad bacteria & yeast grow. We want lots of air flow!!

2) wear breathable clothes ✨ again we want clothes that allow air flow & we don’t sweat a lot in especially in humid environments. This can let bad bacteria grow & cause infections.

3) pee after sex!! Within 15 minutes go pee, shower and drink some water! Just go pee in general when you need to instead of holding it. You do want bacteria to grow inside your bladder.

4) stay hydrated especially while drinking 🍸 dehydration can cause UTIs because bacteria can build up in your bladder and you’re not drinking enough to flush it out! Especially hydrate while drinking alcohol because alcohol can also be hard on pH.

Hope these tips help!! HAGS 🍉✨👙☀️
