<s>[INST] What helps prevent UTIs? [/INST] There are several things you can do to prevent an infection:

drink plenty of water to stay hydrated
take showers instead of baths
for women, make sure you’re wiping ‘front to back’ when going to the toilet
‘The evidence is conflicting as to whether cranberry juice is actually beneficial, but drinking it isn’t harmful so there’s no problem in trying it to see if it helps your symptoms,’ says Dr McClymont.

Some people may also wish to try D-mannose (a type of sugar you take every day as a tablet or powder), as some research has shown it can help in women who are not pregnant. Source: livi.co.uk.
