Feel Like You’re Constantly Battling A UTI? This New Product Has Your Back
This post is sponsored by RepHresh™.
Although it was nearly a decade ago, I remember it like it was yesterday. The feeling that something was ‘off’ down there. The constant urge to use the restroom. The burning sensation that lingered when I tried to pee, even though nothing more than a dribble would come out. I immediately recognized the symptoms for what they were: A urinary tract infection (UTI). I’d recently had my first one — and after that, another. The remedy for the initial UTI was simple enough: I got antibiotics prescribed by my doctor, quickly squashing the infection.
Many people can relate to the less-than-desirable effects of a UTI. The bacterial infection of the bladder is one of the most common infections people with vaginas experience. And while getting a UTI is unfortunately par for the course for plenty of us, getting recurrent UTIs is a whole other level of frustration (not to mention being painfully uncomfortable). If you suspect you are experiencing recurring UTIs, make an appointment with your doctor ASAP.
The RepHresh™ Urinary Tract Health + Immune Support* Supplement is a new dietary supplement that may help reduce your risk of recurring UTIs with daily use. Limited scientific evidence shows that by consuming 500 mg each day of cranberry dietary supplement like this one, healthy people who have had a urinary tract infection (UTI) may reduce their risk of recurrent UTI.
Recurring UTIs are defined as two episodes of bacterial infection that occur with associated symptoms — like increased urinary frequency or urgency, painful or difficult urination, and pain in the pelvic region — within the last 6 months, or three episodes within the last year. For one reason or another, some people’s UTIs are more likely to become recurring, repeating themselves in a vicious (and very, very annoying) cycle. Whether you’re dealing with your first UTI or your fifth, it's important to make an appointment with your doctor so they can help diagnose it and look into what’s going on.
In addition to recommending cranberry supplements from RepHresh to her patients, Dr. Jackie Walters, OB/GYN and RepHresh Women’s Health & Wellness Expert, recommends a few simple hygiene tips that can help prevent recurring UTIs, like patting instead of wiping after peeing, always patting front to back to avoid cross contamination, and peeing after sex.
If you have anxiety about your own recurring urinary tract health issues — especially before a big event or trip — or are just frustrated with the seemingly never-ending cycle of recurring UTIs, you’re not alone. Take the first step by making an appointment with your doctor. After my experience with recurrent UTIs abroad, I’m doing everything in my power to ensure I’m never in that situation again. For me, that means adding RepHresh™ Urinary Tract Health + Immune Support* Supplements into my daily routine. Not only is it good for my urinary tract, but it also packs a healthy dose of vitamin D and zinc for immune support*.
Urinary tract health is a big deal, and something I don’t recommend learning about the hard way like I did. If you experience recurring UTIs, ask your doctor about RepHresh™ and stock up on RepHresh™ Urinary Tract Health + Immune Support* Supplement for more confidence, down there and everywhere.
