What's A Typical UTI Like For You?

I normally do not have urinary tract infections until I am sexually active. Then I have to go to doctor get meds, and I end up with yeast infection. Then I have to be treated for that. I just want a normal sex life with my partner.

What Things Have You Tried To Prevent Future UTIs?

I drink a lot of water to be sure I go to the bathroom after sex. not even this works. Cleaning myself from front to back doesn't help. Neither does douching with only water. Nothing seems to work. The doctor I go to says I'm just sensitive.

Tips and Tricks

  • Keep meds on hand. I just want to be normal!
