Clothing
Tight-fitting clothing, such as jeans and underwear, can stimulate moisture from accumulating in urethral and the pelvic area. This may boost the infection from getting worse. Therefore, doctors recommend loose clothing during an episode of UTI. To reduce moisture and maximize comfort:
- Keep the pubic area dry and clean
- Avoid tight clothing (jeans, underwear, pads)
- Avoid synthetic fabrics and use cotton underwear
