Before we know it school will be out and it will be time for great family fun, like trips to the beach or a favorite or ours, the State Fair. Unfortunately, as a person living with MS and who uses a wheelchair, I am extremely vulnerable to Urinary Tract Infections. Nothing hampers family fun quite like a UTI.
I was fortunate to be able to speak with Dr. Sophie Fletcher, Director of Research at The Center for Restorative Pelvic Medicine at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, about the cause and prevention or Urinary Tract Infections. UTIs occur when the urethra has trouble keeping bacteria out of the bladder. She shared with me these ways to prevent UTIs:
- Drink 6-8 glasses of water throughout the day.
- Empty your bladder as soon as you feel the need to urinate, rather than ?holding it in.?
- Women should wipe from front to back and dry well after emptying the bladder.
- Empty the bladder completely after sexual intercourse.
- Avoid wearing moist, wet or sweaty clothing for long periods of time.
- Take a daily cranberry supplement with 36 mg PAC.
When taken daily, the proper standardized cranberry supplement can be very effective for preventing UTIs. ellura is clinically proven and the only product available to U.S. consumers that contains the exact amount of the active ingredient from the American cranberry, called PACs, to flush bacteria from the urinary tract. One capsule delivers the daily dosage of 36 mg of PAC. Since 2004, ellura has been Europe’s number one urinary health supplement. If you want to maintain urinary health or you are vulnerable to chronic UTIs, I recommend ellura. It’s more effective, easier and contains no sugar compared to drinking cranberry juice.
