Many people have died as a result of unsanitary practices and have suffered from preventable ailments. To bring attention to and alleviate the global sanitation crisis, World Toilet Day (WTD) was created.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It was started by the World Toilet Organization in 2001 and is now celebrated annually on November 19. The theme for World Toilet Day in 2022 is Sanitation and the Un-Water Summit on Groundwater. Therefore, in honour of World Toilet Day 2022, we will discuss how one can avoid getting UTIs when using public toilets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#How_to_Avoid_Urinary_Tract_Infection_When_Using_Public_Toilets\" >How to Avoid Urinary Tract Infection When Using Public Toilets?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#UTI_Symptoms\" >UTI Symptoms<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#UTI_in_Women\" >UTI in Women<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#How_can_Women_Prevent_UTIs\" >How can Women Prevent UTIs?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#When_Should_One_Visit_a_Doctor\" >When Should One Visit a Doctor?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#Treatment_for_UTI\" >Treatment for UTI<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#Why_is_Toilet_Sanitation_Important\" >Why is Toilet Sanitation Important?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/connect\/world-toilet-day-how-to-avoid-getting-uti-when-using-public-toilets\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-Avoid-Urinary-Tract-Infection-When-Using-Public-Toilets?\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Avoid_Urinary_Tract_Infection_When_Using_Public_Toilets\"><\/span><strong>How to Avoid Urinary Tract Infection When Using Public Toilets?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to a study, 40% of women and 12% of men will, at some point in their lives, develop at least one symptom of a urinary bladder infection with up to 40% of affected women developing recurrent UTIs.
