"... Prevention

Lifestyle changes may help prevent some UTIs.

After menopause, a woman may use estrogen cream in the vagina area to reduce the chance of further infections.

BATHING AND HYGIENE

Choose sanitary pads instead of tampons, which some doctors believe make infections more likely. Change the pad each time you use the bathroom.
Do not douche or use feminine hygiene sprays or powders. As a general rule, do not use any product containing perfumes in the genital area.
Take showers instead of baths. Avoid bath oils.
Keep your genital area clean. Clean your genital and anal areas before and after sexual activity.
Urinate before and after sexual activity.
Wipe from front to back after using the bathroom.
