[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 482059, member: 84"] Miss KT should take a good bath once a week. And no, I'm not questioning her hygiene. A bath once a week is good to prevent both UTIs and yeast infections. One doesn't tend to rinse very well in the shower if you get my drift. And leftover soap suds can cause issues. Tell her to make certain she's wiping front to back. (sounds simple but you'd be stunned how many females don't know to do this) Others gave you good suggestions too. I'll tell ya, I looked at my docs like they were nuts over the bath deal. (both OB and fam doctor said to do it) I'd just left home from a lifetime of baths and welcomed the shower. But honestly, I've never once had a yeast infection and despite my kidney problems, I don't have many infections either. So there is something to it. And she does need to be careful with the water. Several 8oz glasses are fine, no need to go overboard and cause other issues. **PS** If she loves bubble baths, she might want to cut them out. Suds get up in the urethra and cause the same issue as not rinsing well. Females with repeat UTIs who take bubble baths are advised to stop. [/QUOTE]
