The first line of action for treating urinary tract infections is to drink enough water. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), drinking plenty of water helps flush away the bacteria that is responsible for the infection. It increases your chances of recovering from the condition. According to the health and medicine division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, you can tell you’re drinking plenty of water by simply drinking water when you’re thirsty. However, experts advise drinking between 6-8 glasses of water every day. Women are advised to drink about 91 oz of water every day, while men should drink about 125 oz every day.
