AZO Boric Acid Vaginal Suppositories were recommended by my Gyno. No more UTIs.

Try d. Mannose. Was recommended to me by my not very crunchy GYN and seems to do the job.

DH and I have not been intimate often and October was the second time this year. And then I got a UTI. Is this something I need to worry about now?


I mean ... if you mean now-that-we-are-having-more-sex by "now" then I can tell you it isn't called the honeymoon disease for nothing.

This is what was advised for me to do by a urologist recently. I am very hesitant to do this but after having two UTIs back to back, I will probably try it for awhile.

The e coli would be in someone's feces. Clean means washed off everyone before fiddling about.

It also helps to drink a large glass of water right before intimate and make a point of urinating immediately afterwards. Cranberry juice can also help ward off utis

This happened to me. Had a couple in my 20s and then three in one year at 45. started on vaginal estrogen. Haven’t had a UTI in 3 years now. I think using lube with sex also helps as it prevents microscopic tears where bacteria can be introduced.
