Remember the importance of fluids. At least 6 - 8 drinks per day should be encouraged to help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. Ask about the choices for effective bladder management. Cranberry juice is recognised as being useful in preventing and treating urinary tract infections , in some individuals. For these, one glass a day is recommended.
Bowels Encourage a well balanced healthy diet.
A high fibre diet will help to keep the motions soft and easier to pass. Avoid eating too much food which can cause constipation, like eggs and full cream milk. Regular emptying of the bowels should be encouraged. The best time is after breakfast or other meal times when natural bowel movement is most active. Maintain a high intake of clear fluids.
