Does Bidet help with UTI?

My wife is 41+ YO based in US, and has has a few UTIs . We are looking into all possible preventive methods and trying to understand if bidet helps reduce the chances of UTI? As I researched, I see bidet related discussions on various conditions but not much for UTI. My gut tells me it should. But, then I see the Bidet nozzle in the back perhaps interfering with the front-to-back cleaning?

Lots of questions... ?!?!

    UTI in most cases is not caused by cleaning issues. So the Bidet helps only a bit. Your wife is 41, that is the age hormone could cause a lot of problems, including UTI. Cut off sugar , take probiotics, and wash with diluted vinegar, it may help.
