(HealthDay News) -- A urinary tract infection may have symptoms including painful and frequent urination, cloudy urine, pressure in the lower belly and fever.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers these suggestions for women to help prevent these infections:
Always urinate when you feel the urge. Don't wait too long.
Always urinate before and after sex.
After urinating, always wipe from front to back.
Thoroughly clean the genitals every day.
Avoid douching or using a feminine spray.
Wear underwear with a cotton crotch.
If you tend to get UTIs, talk to your doctor about what's causing them.

All of these are great ways to prevent a UTI. Another way to prevent urinary tract infections is to take an antibacterial such as Cystex®. Cystex® is the only over-the-counter medicine with a double-action formula that not only helps to relieve painful urinary symptoms, but it also helps control the infection with its other ingredient, methenamine, a natural antiseptic. Of course, if you suspect it’s a UTI, you need to see your doctor and get a prescription medicine to help eliminate the infection. For more information about Cystex®, go to www.cystex.com.
