 or even condoms in some cases. If that’s the case, I may recommend changing the method of birth control a woman uses in addition to urinating after sex and washing with soap and water.
Wiping from front to back whenever going to the bathroom is another important tip. The idea here is to lower the chance of spreading bacteria from the anus to the vaginal opening, where bacteria could enter the urethra. Unfortunately, there isn’t much data on this, but it’s a common-sense strategy for women to try.
If simple behavioral modifications such as cleaning with soap and water and urinating after sex fail, some women are candidates for prophylactic antibiotics—drugs used to prevent an infection, rather than to treat an infection that already exists. If a patient tests positive for two UTIs within six months or three within a year, she may be a candidate for preventative antibiotics which can be taken after sex, daily, or if symptoms develop.
When a woman experiences UTI symptoms, it’s natural for the mind to go to the worst-case scenario. It can be scary to see blood in the urine or feel a burning sensation during urination. But UTIs usually aren’t cause for great concern. And if a woman has symptoms that keep coming back or that don’t get better, seeing a specialist can ease her fears and point her toward the right course of prevention and care.

An Open Letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
It all starts by creating super emotional health in every student to create top professional experts, top future parents, neighbors, workers, leaders, citizens.
RIDGEFIELD PARK, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, October 11, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Congratulations for moving to implement the 25th amendment. You have been driven to ensure that this amendment is used every time there is a need; in response to President Trump's emotionally challenged behavior.
Please understand that this problem of Trump being emotionally challenged is not even the tip of the iceberg.
It is even more essential to wake up to the reality and take action on the fact that Trump is the symbol in chief of an America that continues to produce these four levels of selves.
You need to introduce a new plan to transform America from an emotionally challenged country into an emotional health super power.
Why is it when civilization, education, inventions, incomes. sciences are all improving why are the social ills as bad as ever? 
The problem of lack of emotional health (EH) education is so massive that we need every available opportunity to make the whole world wise/emotionally healthy.
Bill Gates wants to spend half a billion dollars to find out who or what makes the best teacher. To know who or what makes the best teacher is essential but even far more significant is to figure out what makes the best student. Say we figure out what makes the best teacher (a wise/emotionally healthy teacher is the best teacher) and we take ten best teachers and try to educate one single student who has emotional health problems and thus is incapable of focusing on learning. Thus what we need is the best teachers and even more essential we need best students. We need every student to become emotionally super healthy.
What we need is a new profession of emotional health teachers. Who are trained also as emotional health inspectors. As soon as the child enters school it is examined for emotional health problems and those wanting are slowly nursed into super emotional health. Also the student's emotional health is the litmus test for the parent's emotional health. Parents with emotionally challenged children must be made aware of why their children need healing. They must be told that they too need training to become the best parents. For that matter every individual must be given an emotional health test in order to create the best student, parent, neighbor, boss, worker, player, husband, wife, professional in every trade, including leaders. So we need emotional health testing and manual for every level of life.
To make society free from social ills we spend and lose trillions of dollars to address the symptoms instead of healing the actual messed up emotional health. Crime alone costs over a trillion dollars and instead of identifying the emotional health being messed up as the cause we label the person as bad and punish him as a criminal instead of addressing his emotional health issues.
Just imagine 50% of America has trouble making ends meet even though the vast majority earn enough to build up a cushion of savings and investments. The problem is they make good money; as American professional education is cutting edge but they spend the hard earned money with emotionally challenged selves. So another point to be noted and action taken on, is that we focus on professional expertise, neglecting not just emotional expertise, we ignore savings and investment expertise.
In fact every human being has to be examined for emotional health and those who need healing must be provided the necessary care. From social health to education, relationship, peace, morality, prosperity, happiness, pure life health, even leadership health etc. is all a function of emotional health. In fact health itself as well as mental health is a function of emotional health.
This crisis must also be taken up by the Biden-Harris team and they must make major prime time speeches on this problem, talk about it in the coming debates and even add to their platform.

Security as an essential attribute of public life and the object of scientific knowledge is of considerable interest for economic and social geography and regional economy. The national security system is a multi-level and multi-component structure in which the region is a subject, object and space for implementing the state policy on security. Nowadays globalization is the factor that has a significant impact on the regions within in the country and causes the emergence of new challenges and threats to their socio-economic and innovation development. In response to the challenges of globalization, regions are seeking to expand their powers and acquire unique competencies that will enable them to ensure security in the long run. This article focuses on the issue of regional security in Russia by identifying a number of factors, the overcoming of which will significantly increase the effectiveness of public policy in this area.

Security issues are fundamental in maintaining the integrity, sovereignty and sustainable development of nations and societies. It is no coincidence that interest in the problem of security in the scientific community continues unabated for several centuries. The origins of conceptual perceptions over security date back to the works of ancient philosophers and thinkers who saw it as a kind of condition characterized by the absence of danger in the environment [41]. Starting from the twelfth century, understanding of the essence of security shifted to the security assessment of the human spirit through the unity with God [15]. In the epoch of Renaissance, social security was defined by equality and joint labor, and its major threat was considered to be the gap between culture and politics [14]. Philosophers of modern times (e.g. T. Hobbes, B. Spinoza, J. Locke, F. Bacon) in their writings devoted much attention to the role of government in providing national security, considering the public and the state security as identical. At the same period, the concept of safety culture was introduced. The Age of Enlightenment (e.g. J. Rousseau, Voltaire, D. Diderot, P. Holbach) was marked by the recognition of the importance of personal security as an integral part of the security of the whole society (i.e. public safety), as well as the formation of the foundations for international security. Significant contribution to the development of ideas about national security and the role of the state was made by German philosophers of the XVIII-XIX centuries: I. Kant, I. Fichte, G. Hegel,
