Dr. Ranjanee Muthu asserted that summer is causing a rise in burning sensations during urination, which is common for urinary infections in both males and females. To prevent this, he recommends staying hydrated, increasing water intake, and consuming alkaline items instead of acidic ones. She also advised not to hold urine for too long, passing it every four hours.
Maintaining good hygiene, especially for females, is crucial for avoiding urinary infections. Avoid using chemical-scented products on intimate areas and Normal soaps are suitable for this purpose. She emphasizes, if infected, visit a clinic for a checkup and discuss their urine routine. The doctor can prescribe antibiotics based on the report.
