WOMEN’S HEALTH 6 CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT WOMEN MORE THAN MEN By Lisa Turner 32 • MAY <strong>2019</strong>
Men are more likely to die from cirrhosis, Parkinson’s disease, colon cancer, and physical injuries. But certain serious conditions are known to target women exponentially more often than men. Here are six of the most common. URINARY TRACT 1INFECTIONS The main reason women get more UTIs? Simple anatomy. Because the urethra— the duct through which urine passes from the body—is shorter in women and closer to the anus, it’s easier for bacteria to migrate into the urinary tract and cause infections. Birth control methods, such as diaphragms or spermicides, and irritating feminine products can also contribute to the problem. To protect against UTIs, wipe from front to back after using the bathroom, empty your bladder as soon as possible after intercourse, and drink plenty of water— several studies have linked low urine output with increased risk of UTIs. Supplemental support: CRANBERRIES, in juice or capsules, are rich in proanthocyanidins, which may prevent bacteria, especially E. coli, from adhering to urinary tract cells. GOLDENSEAL, a potent antimicrobial herb, also helps keep bacteria away from the bladder wall. VITAMIN C increases the acidity of the urine, which helps kill bacteria. According to a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 100 mg of vitamin C per day (along with iron and folic acid) significantly reduced UTI risk among pregnant women. Drinking hibiscus tea (rich in vitamin C) is also a good idea—a 2016 study looked at hibiscus tea for UTIs and kidney inflammation and found it to be effective. PROBIOTICS balance the urogenital flora and can significantly reduce the risk of recurrent UTIs. D-MANNOSE, a type of sugar sold in powdered form, has been shown to help inhibit E. coli from sticking to the bladder wall.
