Poor hygiene and behaviors like urinating in the shower can increase the
risk of infection by spreading bacteria. Preventive measures include:
Maintaining personal hygiene after restroom use. Washing the genital area
with mild cleansers. Avoiding shared or unclean bathing spaces. Staying hydrated
to flush out bacteria. Women should also avoid prolonged wetness, tight clothing,
and products disrupting pH balance. Symptoms like burning during urination,
frequent urges, or cloudy urine require prompt medical attention.
Preventing cystitis through hygiene and awareness promotes better health
