@nourishing_lauren: UTI, cystitis and bladder pain all tend to flare up in the heat. These 5 tips work for me 1- Take a big bottle of water with you everywhere, and I mean BIG! Yes a smaller bag would be cute with your outfit butt running out of water on a hot train with no air con will ruin your urinary tract more. 2- Loose cotton or linen bottoms only. Please avoid the tight polyester shorts, they will only make you sweat more. Real talk, just wear a cotton maxi and no pants. You’ll thank me later and no one will know. 3- Avoid known bladder irritants. That means no alcohol, caffeine, sugar, nightshade veg to name a few. Yes it is boring, but being on antibiotics is worse. 4- Keep your pelvic area in the shade. Less sweat = less likely to get a UTI. And yes you can still get a tan, just be sensible about it. 5- Cold brew Marigold flower tea! It will calm any inflammation and has antibacterial properties. If you have any cystitis symptoms then please ring your GP as soon as possible! #cystitis #bladderpain #heatwaveuk #uti #chronicillness
