Answers:
Always wipe front to back to avoid contamination, urinate before and after intercourse, stay well hydrated (water) to keep your kidneys flowing well, and eating yogurt can also help because there are alot of good bacteria in yogurt that can fight the bad bacteria that can cause uti's. Your 2nd answer is correct also. They can give you a rx for Macrobid to take after intercourse to prevent uti's. This is actually pretty common as well. also stay away from heavily scented perfumed body soap and deodorants that are used "down there"-that should all help. Good Luck! Health Question & Answer
I had UTIs almost continuously for like 3 years, then doc put me on stronger antibiotics and they TOTALLY went away. I guess I had grown resistant to the Bactrim and it didnt affect the bacteria. Ask for a different, stronger antibiotic. also, your doc can prescribe a mild antibiotic you can take after sex.Health Question & Answer
I've had the same problem for awhile now as well! You can also try taking a cranberry supplement. I take TheraCran, my urologist suggested it. You can purchase it online. also, talk to your urologist or doctor about prescribing you a low dose antibiotic to take after intercourse. I take 50MG of Nitrofuratoin and that seems to do the trick.
