2. Prevention From Kidney Infection-

You may reduce your risk of developing a kidney infection by:

Drinking in a lot of water

Urinate whenever you feel the need.

Urinating after having intercourse

Women should wipe from the front to the back after using the restroom. This prevents bacteria from the vagina or anus from entering the urethra.

Avoid using deodorant sprays or douches in the vaginal region.

Getting treated for constipation. Constipation is not a symptom of a kidney infection, but it might raise your risk of having bacteria in your urinary tract by making it difficult to completely empty your bladder.
