Make sure your child is maintaining personal hygiene. Teach your child how to keep his/her bottom clean. It is very important that your child knows to wash his/her bottom and genitals when taking a shower. If you have a daughter, teach her to wipe from front to back to avoid infection. In girls, bacteria from the colon readily colonize the area around the vagina and urethra, and then need to travel only a short distance through the urethra to the bladder to cause infection. Bathwater can quickly become contaminated with bacteria from other parts of the body, so your child should take showers rather than baths, especially if she has trouble with recurrent UTIs. Bubble bath liquid can also irritate the area around the urethra, increasing chances of a UTI. Frequently emptying the bladder of urine can help it to remain bad bacteria-free. This is because urinating regularly can wash out bad bacteria that is trying to make its way to the bladder. Staying hydrated will help to keep your child urinating regularly. You should try to teach your child to go to the toilet when he has to urinate, rather than ‘holding it in’ for a long time. Bacteria grows really well in urine, so emptying his bladder regularly will keep him UTI-free. If your child has recurrent UTIs, you should buy her cotton underwear that allows for airflow. Synthetic fabrics tend to not ‘breathe’ as well, which can cause moisture and irritation to occur. If you think your daughter may be sexually active, or may become sexually active, it is important to discuss safe health practices, including ways to avoid getting a UTI. It is important to talk to her about how spermicidal agents can kill good bacteria that can protect her against UTIs, which makes it more likely that bad bacteria will grow in that area. Make sure that she also knows that it is a good idea to urinate promptly after intercourse. Talk to your daughter about getting a prescription for antibiotics if she is experiencing recurrent UTIs caused by sexual activity. Antibiotics are generally the best treatment in this situation so it is a good idea to discuss this option with her. The most commonly prescribed antibiotics for this purpose are nitrofurantoin (50 mg), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [TMP-SMX] (40 to 200 mg), and cephalexin (500 mg).

Article: Many couples meet in college or graduate school. It's a place where people have things in common, spend time near one another, and get a sense of one another as workers and friends. If you've already gone to school, or are unable to return, try taking extension classes in subjects that interest you: cooking, foreign languages, dance, or business. Not only is school an excellent place to meet a potential mate, but getting an education can increase the longevity of your future relationship. Couples with college education have lower divorce rates than their less-educated peers. Your mental and physical health influence who is willing to date you, and for how long. Get regular exercise and a full night's sleep each night. Eat regular meals, healthy snacks, and avoid soda and refined sugar. Visit the doctor regularly. Take particular care of your mental health. If you are too shy, depressed, anxious, or insecure to date, visit a therapist. To attract a partner, look your best. Be clean. Shower often, but use shampoo no more than three times a week. Brush your teeth and floss after eating, so that your breath is fresh and your teeth look healthy.  Dress to suit yourself. Fashion choices are going to vary widely depending on your tastes, but in general, wear clothing that fits your body, is clean, and is not very worn out.  Wear the colors that flatter you, or wear black and neutrals if you can't figure out what your colors are. You won't find someone who loves you if you are unloving of yourself. Pursue the things you want in life: a job you like, friends who treat you well, hobbies you enjoy, and good communication with your family. Take care of your emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing. Treating yourself well demonstrates emotional stability, an extremely attractive characteristic. Friends are the mostly likely people to introduce you to your life partner. They are also the people who will help you through the rough cycles of dating, who will support you when you find someone you like, and who will be your companions when you are lonely. It's hard to date if you're isolated, and it's hard to come off as confident and attractive if you're lonely and desperate for companionship. Be good to the friends you have. You don't have to be a social butterfly. Keep the social commitments you make, reciprocate favors, and tell your friends what you appreciate about them.
