Are there any preventive measures for E. coli infections?
Preventive strategies include: - Good Hygiene Practices: Wiping from front to back after using the toilet can help prevent the spread of bacteria to the urinary and reproductive systems. - Hydration: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain urinary tract health. - Urinate After Intercourse: This can help flush out any bacteria that may have been introduced during sexual activity. - Probiotics: Taking probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut and vagina. - Avoiding Irritants: Avoiding douches, scented feminine products, and harsh soaps can help maintain the natural flora of the vagina.
