Why do you get a urinary tract infection?

What many people don’t know is that the root cause of urinary tract infections is due to intestinal bacteria. Often it is E.coli bacteria that have migrated from the rectum on to the bladder and caused an infection there.

How does UrinCur work?

UrinCUR Utipro Plus AF prevents the spread of bacteria from the intestine. The ingredient xyloglucan coats the intestinal mucosa with a biofilm that acts as a protective barrier and prevents intestinal bacteria from spreading further to the bladder.

Reduces bacterial growth in the bladder

Acute symptoms are mitigated by propolis and hibiscus, which acidify the bladder’s environment and reduce bacterial growth.

Reduce the risk of urinary tract infection

Repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs) can affect your quality of life. But you are not alone, as UTIs are one of the most common female diseases. There are a few things you can do to reduce the risk of recurrence, in addition to using UrinCUR.

1. Keep yourself dry

Intestinal bacteria (E.coli), which are often the root cause of a urinary tract infection, find it easier to move in wet environments and thus migrate from the gut to the urethra.

2. Pee often and after sex

Drink plenty of water and go to the toilet regularly. Do not hold yourself and always wipe from front to back.

3. Add moisture

You are more likely to get a urinary tract infection if you have dry mucous membranes. It is therefore good to provide extra moisture to the genital area! Vaginal dryness increases the risk of small cracks appearing in the mucous membrane and in these cracks bacteria can then attach more easily, resulting in a UTI.

How to prevent urinary tract infection in menopause?

As dry and fragile mucous membranes are common for menopausal women, some women experience a urinary tract infection for the first time in their lives.

In addition to a preventive treatment of UrinCUR, it is good to have a gentle intimate care routine to counteract dry and fragile mucous membranes in menopause.

Lubricants are good to use to add extra moisture and lubrication during sex, as natural lubrication can decrease during menopause, which in turn can create small cracks in the genital area. A lubricant specifically adapted for menopausal women is RFSU Natural Moist Glide, which contains hyaluronic acid for intense moisturization. It also contains lactic acid, to preserve the natural pH balance of the genital area.

RFSU Intimate Wash Oil and RFSU Intimate Relief Balm are also specially adapted for menopausal women and have both a softening and caring effect on dry mucous membranes. The intimate cream contains natural beeswax that protects the sensitive skin of the genital area.
