Why urinary discomfort is so common in women
The female urethra is short, which makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. Dehydration in the heat, holding urine for long periods, intimacy, pregnancy and lower oestrogen after menopause can all make the urinary tract more sensitive.
Everyday habits for urinary comfort
Drink water steadily through the day, especially in summer. Empty the bladder regularly and after intimacy. Wipe from front to back, choose breathable cotton underwear, and avoid perfumed washes on the intimate area.

These products are not a treatment
Burning when passing urine, needing to go very often, cloudy or bloody urine, fever or back pain can mean an infection that needs a doctor and, when prescribed, antibiotics. Do not wait, especially during pregnancy.
