Passage of this concentrated urine through the urinary tract causes irritation and gives rise to burning sensation.- Urinate as soon as you feel the urge to urinate to reduce the risk of infection.
- Avoid eating spicy and sugary foods.
- Follow proper hygiene daily. After urinating, women should dry the area from front to back
- Avoid wearing tight clothes
