Pete: Helping You Break the Cycle of Recurring Urinary Tract Infections

If you’ve had more than one urinary tract infection (UTI), you know the cycle: burning, discomfort, antibiotics, relief, repeat! It’s frustrating, disruptive and can feel never-ending. The good news? Staying on top of your hydration can make a difference, and that is exactly where Pete comes in!

Why Are Recurrent UTIs Such a Problem?

UTIs are incredibly common, but for some people, they don’t just happen once- they come back again and again. **It is estimated that over 50% of women will experience a urinary tract infection in their lifetime, and almost a quarter of those people will have recurrent UTIs (1,2).

This recurrence does not just cause discomfort, it also means:

Frequent Antibiotics: which can upset your gut health and contribute to antibiotic resistance,
Uncertainty and Worry: never knowing when the next infection will strike,
Impact on daily life: UTIs can make work, school, or even relaxing at home feel impossible.

That’s why prevention and proactive wellness are so important!

How Does Hydration Play a Role?

Drinking enough water and maintaining good urinary wellness are simple, yet powerful, ways to lower the risk of UTIs. Hydration can even help flush bacteria from your urinary system before they cause trouble (3)! A randomized clinical trial found that maintaining better hydration over time reduced UTI recurrences by about 50%, with a similar decrease in the need for antimicrobial treatments (3).
