A UTI, also known as a Urinary Tract Infection, Urinary Infection, or Bladder Infection, happens when bacteria enter the urethra, travel up the urinary tract to the bladder, and multiply.
Certain activites, such as sex, exercise, dehydration, and menopause can increase your risk of getting a UTI.
If you feel a UTI coming on, the best thing you can do is to drink a lot of water. Why? Because everytime you urinate you are helping to flush the urinary tract.

Once you get a UTI, your chances of getting another increase — why? It's two fold:
When you take antibiotics to treat a UTI, they wipe out the good bacteria along with bad. This puts you at a higher risk for another UTI among other issues, such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis.
When bacteria attaches to the wall of the urinary tract it has the ability to produce biofilm. Biofilms are sticky networks of microorganisms that act as a shield for the bacteria, protecting it from your immune system and antibiotics. When bacteria protected by biofilm ends its dormancy, they cause what is called a recurring UTI (rUTI) or a UTI caused by bacteria from the initial infection that was never cleared.
