4. Take it seriously when it starts
These climb. Bladder to kidney to something that puts you in hospital, and the risk of that climb rises with age.
A day of hoping it settles is the expensive kind of stoicism.
The kitchen jar is a flavour, not a dose, which took me years to accept.
A capsule with the pepper on the label, with a meal that has fat in it.

The catch is that curcumin on its own is barely absorbed.
Piperine from black pepper is what changes that, and it has to be on the label, listed as black pepper extract or BioPerine.
Without it you are paying for a yellow capsule.
3. Why it keeps happening rather than just happening
Each infection leaves the tissue irritated, and irritated tissue is easier to colonise next time.
The capsule above works on who lives there. The inflammation left behind is a separate job, and turmeric is the studied one.
A urologist explained why so many women get UTI after UTI.
And it's not "wiping wrong" or "not peeing after sex."
The real reason is something almost no one talks about, sitting inside your body right now:
1. There is a microbiome down there
I take one with coffee in the morning, which is the only reason I actually take it.
A year in and the pattern I used to plan holidays around has not come back.
The probiotic I take every morning (#ad):

With a probiotic the strain panel is the whole test.
Each strain should be named with its own count beside it, so eight names and eight numbers, not one big total hiding the split.
A bottle printing only a headline CFU figure is not telling you what is inside.
2. What tips it
Falling hormones from your thirties on, menopause, breastfeeding, a course of antibiotics, even sex, because semen is not acidic.
That is where a daily probiotic earns its place, and most of the shelf will not do the job.
It is meant to be acidic, and that acidity is the whole security system.
When the helpful bacteria are running the place, the unhelpful ones cannot get a foothold. When they are not, everything changes.
