Cleaning and Microbiome

Over-cleaning can disrupt the skin's microbiome and potentially increase the risk of UTIs, as excessive cleaning may lead to irritation and contact dermatitis. It's crucial to understand that pelvic floor dysfunction can mimic UTI symptoms, with pain persisting even after infections have cleared. Finding the right balance in pelvic floor health—whether through relaxation or strengthening—can be key to resolving these issues.
