4 Ways to Improve Bladder Health and Prevent UTIs and Cystitis
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and cystitis can be painful, disruptive, and—unfortunately—common. These infections happen when bacteria enter the urinary tract and multiply, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, a burning sensation, and lower abdominal discomfort.
Cystitis, which is inflammation of the bladder, is one of the most frequently diagnosed UTI symptoms—especially in women. While sexually active women often experience cystitis due to bacteria introduced during intercourse, postmenopausal women are also more vulnerable. Hormonal changes, thinning tissues, reduced immunity, and bladder weakening all contribute to higher UTI risk with age.
The good news? You can take simple, effective steps to support bladder health and reduce the likelihood of infections. Here are four practical habits to start today:
1. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps flush bacteria and toxins from the urinary tract. Hydration also dilutes your urine, making it less irritating to the bladder lining. Aim for at least 6–8 glasses of water a day.
2. Maintain Proper Hygiene
After using the toilet, always wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria from entering the urethra. Keep the genital area clean and dry, especially during menstruation, after intercourse, and while using incontinence pads.
3. Avoid Holding In Urine
Holding your urine for long periods allows bacteria to multiply in the bladder. Go to the bathroom regularly—ideally every 3–4 hours—and always empty your bladder completely to reduce the risk of infection.
4. Wear Breathable Clothing
Tight, synthetic clothing traps moisture, creating a warm environment where bacteria thrive. Opt for cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes to promote airflow and keep the genital area dry.

When to See a Doctor
While lifestyle changes and herbal supplements can support urinary health, it’s important to seek medical advice if:
