Frequent cystitis can be reduced by adopting healthy daily habits. Drink plenty of water to flush bacteria from the urinary tract. Avoid bladder irritants such as alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods. Incorporate probiotic foods to maintain a healthy urinary microbiome. Practice proper hygiene, including wiping front to back and using gentle, fragrance-free soaps. Wear breathable cotton underwear to reduce moisture buildup. Urinate after sexual activity and avoid holding urine for long periods. Early recognition of symptoms and timely medical care prevents complications and recurrent infections.
