Weird Things You Know How To Do If You Get Urinary Tract Infections

Knowing That Using Bath Bombs Is Playing With Fire

Women who have never used a bath bomb may squeal with delight the first time they use them. But after getting into the tub, they may regret it. Many women are sometimes still tempted to use bath bombs because of their pleasurable effect on the senses – the sound of fizz and crackling, the rivers of rich colors, and the fabulous scents. But as they remember the pain of a UTI that can follow bath bomb use, women with frequent UTIs know that to use bath bombs is to play with fire. The perfume, dye, and even glitter in bath bombs are all triggers for a UTI. These chemicals easily upset the delicate balance of the vagina, making it easier for bacteria to invade and infect.

Having A Hard Time Believing That Some Women Never Get UTIs

It can be easy to understand why women are more likely than men to get UTIs (because of the shorter distance between the anus and the urethra). But it can be difficult for women with frequent UTIs to understand why some women never seem to get UTIs whereas they get them constantly. Experts say that getting more than three UTIs a year is outside the average range. Genetics may be a reason for this. Research has shown that some people have bladder wall receptors that make it easier for bacteria to stick to them. Although women with these receptors may be one of the more genetically susceptible individuals, they are, as a result, armed with a large body of knowledge that will help them prevent and treat UTIs. Still, women who rarely experience UTIs sure are lucky.
