Why are older women more prone to UTIs?
Women become more prone to developing urinary tract infections (UTIs) as they grow older due a number of reasons, including female anatomy, hormonal changes, medications, a weaker immune system and menopause. If a UTI is overlooked or even mistaken for other conditions, and if left untreated, it can spread elsewhere. An untreated infection can get […]
Balance your bacteria to banish UTIs!
A urinary tract infection (UTI) can happen to anyone of any age, even babies. However, the most common victims of UTIs are women – older women, in particular. Women are about 10 times more likely than men to get a UTI and close to 60% of women will experience one or more UTIs in their […]

I’ve only ever had one UTI in my life, when I was in my early 20s, over 40 years ago. I was on holiday in Cornwall and I remember that painful, dragging feeling and the pain when I went for a wee, but only managing to pass a teaspoonful! It only lasted a couple of […]

When you reach a certain age, digestive problems can be a common occurrence. I’m sure you’ve all heard your older relatives or friends say something like, “I can’t eat the way I used to…” or “Rich food doesn’t agree with me”.
