If someone gets into the shower soon after you or you often step barefoot in the shower, bacteria can be carried on your feet and can end up close to your intimate area again. The risk of cystitis then increases dramatically.
How to protect yourself and your loved ones?
Avoid urinating in the shower, especially if the bathroom is shared with other people.
Keep the bathroom clean and regularly disinfect wet areas.
Try to empty your bladder only in the toilet.
Wear slippers when using showers in shared areas.
Build healthy hygiene habits – and instill them in your children.
