Drink More Water To Reduce Risk of Urinary Tract Infection: Study

93 per cent of the women who drank an additional 1.5 litres of water daily had two or fewer episodes of cystitis.

Women who drink about an extra litre-and-a-half of water daily are nearly 50 per cent less likely to suffer from bladder infections, especially in premenopausal stages, a new study has found.

According to researchers from the University of Texas in the US, more fluids help to reduce bacteria and limit the ability of bacteria to attach to the bladder.

The study was published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
