Frequent UTIs in women can be caused by lifestyle choices. Two related factors are infrequent urination and not drinking enough fluids. Often bathrooms aren't readily available and/or inconvenient, not to mention the inevitable long lines. We therefore don't drink because of this and 'hold it' even if we have to go.

One possible fix is of course to drink a lot of fluids and urinate as often as possible. One doctor told me if your urine has color or odor, you waited too long. As long as I know I'll have access to a bathroom, this is not a problem but too often the access is the problem, therefore you have a catch 22 situation.

Flushing out the infection by drowning it might be a solution if caught quickly but if it's caused by other factors, the solution might not be that simple.
