How to get through the fall and winter without a bladder infection

1 Warming

Cold feet and kidneys reduce blood circulation in the pelvis. This weakens the immune system and bacteria attack more quickly. So always keep these areas warm.

2 Drink enough

It is best to drink at least two liters a day. This helps to flush out germs.

3 Do not stop

If we delay going to the toilet, it is easier for pathogens to settle.

4 Don't overdo the hygiene

Otherwise the protective acid mantle in the intimate area becomes unbalanced. Warm water is normally sufficient.

5 Rely on the power of plants

Some women have repeated bladder problems. A gentle alternative to antibiotics is a plant-based combination of orthosiphon, also known as cat's whiskers, goldenrod and hay (Aqualibra, pharmacy). It flushes out bacteria, inhibits inflammation and can relieve pain. It is also suitable for acute illnesses.
