ALL FEMALES PLEASE READ THIS, AND MALES PLEASE LET YOUR MOTHER, SISTER, PARTNER OR FRIENDS KNOW AFTER READING THIS:

You can prevent a serious disease by just drinking water. It is Urinary Tract Infections and Urinary Stones. It mainly affects females. The prevention and treatment is the same. Just drink lots of water.
Your body needs a minimum of 1.5 to 2 litres of water everyday to flush out the chemicals. That comes to around 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Females tend to drink less water especially working women who find it difficult to use public toilets.
Here is what you should do. Even if you do not feel very thirsty, keep a bottle of water with you during daytime and drink from it at regular intervals. Especially in summer season. If your water intake is less, you will produce less urine. That urine will be concentrated and there is high chance for stone formation and bacterial growth in your urinary tract. Serious disease can even lead to kidney damage and need for dialysis.
As you all know prevention is better than cure. It is difficult to treat urinary tract infections and stones. Most need surgery for urinary stones. It is a very painful condition. So just drink lots of water and prevent this serious condition.
