Preventing cystitis begins with consistent hydration. Drinking enough water helps flush bacteria from the bladder before infections can develop. Avoid irritants such as coffee, alcohol, and acidic foods that may inflame the urinary tract. Include probiotic foods to maintain a healthy urinary and gut microbiome. Practice gentle hygiene with fragrance-free products and always wipe front to back. Wear breathable cotton clothing to reduce moisture. Urinate promptly and after sexual activity. Recognizing early symptoms and seeking prompt medical care reduces the risk of recurrent infections and complications.
