Does anyone else get UTI's when they have sex?

This has always been a problem for me. I have been on a low dose of an anti biotic for a long time because I was getting them all the time, even when I was not sexually active. I take Cranberry capsules and do everything I am told. I am SICK of it!:drool:

Hi,

They call that "honeymoon cystitis"!

One way of avoiding them is urinating immediately following sexual activity. This helps flush out any bacteria that have entered the urinary tract. It really does work.

I recently got one after my first long bicycle ride of the season! Go figure!

Good luck.

mica,

you ride? you should check out the cycling thread on here in the fitness forum.

We talking riding all the time. Not so much UTI's...but we'd discuss them if they came up.

Yeah, I run and go potty as fast as I can. It sure ruins the mood. The cranberry capsules seem to make a big difference too. I may switch to 3 x a day instead of twice.

UTI's are miserable! I am lucky my band dr. got me used to drinking 64 oz of Water per day too. I need to stay flushed.

Okay boys, I hope you're having a good time reading this!

I was told (and I think it helps) to urinate right BEFORE as well as right after the sex. Try doing both & see if that helps. Although you may not be able to pee a whole lot right after sex since you went before, I am always able to do a little bit.

I usually try to drink a glass of Water right before so I will have something to pee. I will try going before too. I think I usually do anyway, cause it's not fun on a full bladder.:lol::smile2:

Never had a UTI in my life, but - strange, after sex? I wonder why.

Wheetsin, its my understanding that a lot of bacteria gets tossed around during that time. Then the bacteria cause the infection.

What she said. I don't know if my UTI's (which were frequent years ago) were sex related, I think my doctor indicated it was. I blamed dirty husband fingers (that's important, make him wash his hands!!), and sex in general with all the bacteria moving from the outside to inside.

If you are using sugar-substances for anything fun down there, don't. That also causes yeast infections/UTI's. Never go from the pooper to the pink! Make sure any toys are sterilized between each use.

Those are some sex reasons I've heard UTI's happen.

I had this problem a few years back. I started keeping a box of baby wipes under my sink and just have a pee and then give a little wipe and then I'm good.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
