Among men, the sharpest increase occurred at age 60-69 years while among women the increase was more steady.Women are most likely to develop incontinence during pregnancy, childbirth or after hormonal changes that occur with menopause. Women living with incontinence often find themselves scouting out the nearest restroom for fear of having an accident in public or avoiding social engagements because they feel anxiety about odor or appearance problems, even with a protective under garment.

Natural Prevention

There are several ways you may be able to prevent UTIs.

The recommended daily dose to treat or prevent bladder infection is about six ounces a day of pure cranberry juice.



Another thing you can do to prevent bladder infections, whether you're a male or female, is to go to the bathroom to empty your bladder frequently. To prevent another bladder infection, the female patient should drink large amounts of fluid, urinate frequently and empty the bladder each time, particularly after intercourse, and properly clean the area around the urethra. Since commercial cranberry juice is loaded with sugar, use unsweetened concentrate or cranberry capsules from the natural food store.

Women with medical problems such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis are at higher risk for infection. Women at risk for sexually transmitted disease are at higher risk for infection. Some other factors that may predispose women to a UTI include nylon underwear or panty hose, and the use of certain perfumes/lotions or bubble baths. In women with frequent infections, the use of cranberry extract or cranberry juice can lead to a decrease in the number of infections. Women who consumed the cranberry juice had almost 50% less bacteria in the urine, a biomarker for UTI.
